Free spirits

Recently I have taken up kitesurfing. It is kind of like windsurfing on steroids. The kites generate insane power, enough to launch you 20 feet high and glide for over 5 seconds is easily possible. It is also quite dangerous (there have been numerous fatalities) which adds to the adrenalin rush.

I have heard about a German lady who landed in the upper floor office of some high rise building.
I think they have some kind of safety feature now, am I right or not?

i have a closeup shot, but for some reason it feels weirdly overpersonal to put my face on this board...

Hey go for it ..i'll bet you are a good looking fella. (i know you're very bright):)
 
kite surfing---that is one cool sport !! i have seen it, but never did it, although i have a large stunt kite that will pull you on the ground.

best,

surf:)

i have a goatee now with a little salt and pepper in it, which ages my face a bit... the wife likes to tease me with old man jokes
 
dark, not to flatter you excessively but you seem well read, wise and too informed for a mere 27 year old. As a matter of fact I just assumed you were at least 60ish. Amusing when the faces don't match our expectations.:D

Are you a philosophy professor by any chance?
