Portuguese Kiteboard Association - June 2007

Antonio Correia

Last Saturday my son asked me to go and shoot kitesurf, which I did with pleasure.
Others and my son are the founders of the Portuguese Kiteboard Association which photos can be seen here.
Here are some photos I shot.
I used 2 cameras: 350 D + 16 35 f/2.8 L USM and 20 D + 1.4 multiplier + 70-200 f/2.8 IS L USM. A flash 430 EX for some pictures, a CPF and a tripod.
If you wish to see bigger photos, please click on the pictures.

Thank you for watching.


There was no wind early afternoon …



Is the wind coming ?


The wind came at last.

That would have been a great event to attend Antonio.
They sure get some speed up with those kites don't they.
I would imagine when your learning to do that it would kill your arms just gripping onto the bar.

Great series .... Nicely Done Antonio ... Skippy

Thanks for sharing. Nice pictures.

Thank you for watching, Skippy and Sarah.

Skippy, I am not going to learn that sport.
The water is too cold for my taste !

I miss Portugal. I will be going for Christmas, but we will likely be stuck in Gondomar "com a familia." I'll try to negotiate a trip south, cause I think this board needs some Sintra pics.

How about, it Antonio, you live in Lisbon, right? Do you ahve any Sintra shots to show us?

It's a shame Nikolai, but I hardly know Portugal.
Of course I have been to Sintra. I wish I had some shots to show you.
Please let me know when you are coming. I mean exactly, dates and so.
Who knows if we can meet ?
In Gondomar - too cold - or in Setubal where we live.
May be we could eat some fish together the 4 of us ! ...
Thank you and be Healthy, your Portuguese wife and yourself !
Saúde !:D

Howdy Antonio,

Wonderful Images, my Wife and I were amazed at how fast these things are when we happened by Kiteboarders the other side of Cascais on our trip last year.

Beautiful Shots, great colors and action!!
