This was a photo I took this afternoon looking down towards Cottesloe beach & beyond from Brighton beach. Winds were +/- 25 knots. I posted a similar picture last year & couldn't help posting this new one. Regards, Gordon

That's an amazing photo. And makes me extra stoked I got my kiting in early yesterday!

And I thought it was busy at pinnas
Those kites are spread out over a few km's. I'm guessing there'd be more kites per sqm at pinnas...
I'm the only kiter in Gove atm.
But share the beaches with a few crocs.......
Would swap though.
great photo by the way TRUE SPIRIT !! but deceptive too
so many unridden waves "slop"
just gotta find the gaps
thats cool
Hi Monkeyfish. So true, as it is very deceptive. That must be about 10 km of coast were looking at in the photo. Its a 600mm lens I'm using shoot this photo.
Nice one Gordon, I love these shots... (particularly this one, as i found myself down the back after a good close look!)... It totally captures what it looks like when you are on the water, seeing all of the kites down the beach to the horizon. It definitely wasn't that crowded out there though, other than near Brighton - maybe the camera brings 'em out...
Haha I'm in the UK at the mouth of the Thames a hr away from london , on a busy long weekend over summer ive counted 170+ kites in a 2 square mile area.
Nice piccy thou :)

It may look like a clusterfk ... ^^^
but it's just a swarm of annoying insects doing a downwinder along a stretch of coast that's about 10k long.
I counted 50 kites only.
well I guess this is what all densely populated areas have to look forward to in the future with the sport becoming so popular.
Is this simular to what you see in Europe?
