Big Bay - Thursday 30.1.14

Heard that the Red Bull competitors were going to practice in the afternoon around 4 p.m. so I went down to the beach to see what was going down. The wind was south east around 20 knots but gusting to 30 knots and a beautiful sunny afternoon. There were many kiters out and also a number of windsurfers - so lot's of action. The red bull guys only  started rigging about 4:30 or so, so I took pics of some of the other kiters and windsurfers enjoying themselves.
