It was a rather chilly day on the island today. The rain didn’t stop until the evening. I did a couple shoots. The first was a REAL Riding Girls shot for a magazine. We cranked it out first thing in the morning in the Ladies’ Lounge at REAL.
Then Tony Finn headed into the shop. We took a couple photos with him in the REAL Board Loft. Then it was off to Kite Point to shoot them riding. Tony and Lulu headed out into the sound on tiny kites.
Lulu was on a 4m and Tony on a 6m. They were doing great until tony drove his kite hard into the water deflating the kite, which prematurely ended the super windy session. Both Lulu and Tony were killing it. It was even better to see Tony motivated to head out in those conditions. Lulu even threw a nice roll-to-revert in the KP Pool (did i mention she was on a 4m).
Julien Fillion and Jason Slezak rigged up for a downwinder on the Oceanside, KP to the Lighthouse. We headed down to the lighthouse to meet up and take some pictures while they rode in. In the grayness loomed a large left wave peeling off the jetty.
Jason and Julien had a couple good hits in the ragging seas. I meet up with Jim, a fellow photog, who was also out shooting. The boys rode for a while then packed it up and we headed back to the Shop.
