Teamwork funboard - boyfriend has fun - girlfriend helps to carry stuff

Teamwork funboard

Not sure is this is the fun part of funboard - because I have seen hundreds of faces but none of them smiling - except when one of the speakers made a few jokes. Funboard is a sport where you need at least for a short while an assistant. The girlfriend being your assistant and admirer and waiting ashore until you finish having fun with your kite surfing may in no way be the ideal solution to enjoy funboard.

Funboard cup

Several categories to compete for windsurfers and kite surfers alike - from speed trials, hang time to freestyle, girls and men, young and old during one week from January 7th 2008.

More photos later - unfortunately my plan to produce several sets of high resolution wallpapers from this funboard cup failed after I realized last night that my Sony A100 appears to have a dark spot on the image to the left of the center area Too ugly to be useful for professional quality wallpapers - hence my next step next week will be to get my A100 fixed and to get a second camera body to be prepared for future failures. The scenery would have been ideal for a large series of eCards and wallpapers for funboard lovers .... May be another time or may be another photographer is more lucky.

Love and bliss
