Something you don't see on the Ohio River

Ran across this guy really getting with it on the river Tuesday afternoon
The sun was low and right in my eyes so the shots were tough
I jumped back in the truck and crossed the Licking River (trying to get a better angle) to get the last shot just before they quit.

    You sure don't see that often on the Ohio.
    Actually, I have a sailboard. Been a few years since I've had it out on the Ohio. (Health reasons) There are a few people around here that do get out there.
    Only bad thing, it's kinda hard to out windsurf a barge!rolleyes1.gif

    Neat shots. I see he has on a full body wetsuit. Good thing coz he'd be freezin his buns off today. I like the second one the best.

    It was very windy that day
    We don't see too many sail boats here on the river but we do have lots of kayaks.
    We go down to Cave Run around Lexington Ky and there's a lot of sail boats there.

    Thanks for the comments

    Boyyyyyyy he's moving isn't he, I've seen them down the beach on really windy days jumping in the air with those things.
    Looks like it would be great fun doesn't it.....thanks for sharing.
