Watery Wednesday, ABC Wednesday / "Q," "R" and "S"

Click on photos to enlarge!
My husband and I took an 11 day trip to Maui, Hawaii and just returned this past Friday night.
I missed the letters Q & R so I will add them to S for this week.
This is the view we had on a bluff overlooking Ho'okipa Beach on the eastern side of the island.
It is well know around the world among the wind surfing crowd.
It is a place where we like to spend some quality time together...just watching.

Some wind surf.
Some kite surf.
And, others board surf.
Some enter the water from the sandy beach while others prefer climbing over the rocky bluff .

Ready, Set, GO!

What a gorgeous sight it is!
Can quality time get any better than this?

Letters Q, R and S

Watery Wednesday

That's My World Tuesday / Butterflies on the Water!

Click on photos to enlarge to full screen.
Surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers all share a long stretch of beach on East Maui, Hawaii called Ho'okipa.
This area is well known around the world among the wind-surfing crowd.
It is late afternoon and the sun is peeking through the thick clouds creating fabulous light!
There are three kite surfers and one wind surfer in this scene.

The wind is fierce with rain over the West Maui Mountains.
That's how these young people like it!

You can see a kite surfer among this group of wind surfers.

The sky is getting darker and darker.
West Maui is barely visible.

This guy is calling it a day!

...and they are not all guys!
This girl is from England and really enjoyed herself out there.
They are like "butterflies" on the water...

Watery Wednesday / Kite Surfing on the Central California Coast






Kite Surfing along this stretch of coastline couldn't get any better. The wind never disappoints! This is just north of San Simeon on the Central California Coast. This is one more thing I could watch for hours while sitting or walking on the beach!

Monochrome Maniacs and The World in Black and White / Kite Surfer at San Simeon, California




"Okay...I Am Ready!" I am sure this is what this guy said as he headed out to the water. It took him forever to get his act together! We watched the wind surfers and kite surfers just north of San Simeon, California while on our trip to the Central Coast last week. I plan to post the "colorful" photos in the near future, as well.

This photo is also posted with "The World in Black and White," and Monochrome Maniacs
