kite surfing at st kilda's beach

we were at st kilda when we saw about a dozen kitesurfers out in the sea having a whale of a time.

kite surfing is a seasonal activity in most parts of the world because this extreme sport is wind dependant. at st kilda's beach, the kite surfing season is between october and march.

kite surfing is a relatively new sport, with the first international competition held in 1998 on maui in hawaii.
