WINNER kitesurfing photo competition

1 Place kitesurfing - Willie Goosen: Lukas at Shoal Bay

Thanks to everybody for their great photos and for their votes.

Note: All the pictures look much better in the original - unfortunately they loose a lot of quality when I up-load them to the website.

We have a clear winner and a lots of close 2nds and 3rds. There was a wide spread after the first one which shows how everyone likes different aspects of the sport - and that we had quite a few great photos in the competition.

Check out all entries on the kite photo comp page in our gallery.

The winner - Willie Goosen - can choose between a paragliding voucher for himself or a beginner lesson kite surfing for a friend. CONGRATULATIONS! Check out his other pictures on www.williegoosen.com.

His photo looks brilliant: Sharp and focussed with fascinating clear spray of water behind Lukas. (And no, it wasn't his mum voting for this pic. :-))

2nd place is this photo by Natalie Lorenz:
