Warm-up for the downwinder.
Strapless wave hopping...

Kite cam is a great invention but still has some way to go to get crisp, unblurred photos. If only you could control it manually. Open source software would be amazing.
Arrival at Butterbox.
Onni cruises past to say G'day.
Finally, The light meter gets a proper exposure...
Waves at ButterBox
Inside the reef at ButterBox
Reef Art. Sorry about the smudge on the lens.
This would have been a really cool shot if the camera shutter speed could be adjusted properly...
Fluro Long Reef
Psychedelic Long Reef. No Photoshop or saturation enhancement...
Jumps at BB can be amazing.
Wind lull, kite down, board gone.
Wishing for wind...
Hmmmm. What next?
Kite up.
Kite down again. Wind past the point of no return is a bummer...
Not a view you like to see...
Nice view of Long Reef
Gusty, but at least the wind is kicking in.
Closer to shore
"Surf rescue" boat rows past. Not even a "Hello" or "You OK mate?"
At least the kite will stay in the air now...
Nearly there now...
Negotiating the surf break while body dragging
Land ho!
Arthur lends a hand
