Last days of summer. Warm water and spectacular weather always marks the now subtle change from summer to just a twinge of fall air. Wind direction is the big topic here in the outer banks. An offshore breeze and it’s time to surf and an onshore wind kills the shape of the waves and is best for kiteboarding as here. Either way using wind and water energy for art and for sport is an exhilarating way to live. It’s free. Just a board and the wind and the sea. I can’t do any of it. I’m a poor bodysurfer. But who cares? I can take great pleasure in just watching. No two waves alike. Unpredictable. I’m totally mesmerized by the sea in both calm and violent storm. Summer is over yet summer is on the way.#outerbanks #kiteboarding
