I kinda thought this might be yours, when I scoped out the location :-) It's a fine shot. But, for the record, ALL sailors use wind, so "wind sailors" is sort of redundant. What they actually are is "windsurfers" or "boardsailors"; started as the former, years ago, but the latter is much more common usage now :-)

I'm a former sailmaker so I know this stuff, see...? I'm so danged pedantic.... :-)

Great shot. Nice tight crop to really get the action instead of focusing on the surrounding scenery. Well done.

nicely done. even if it's a bit soft, it still got my attention. you might could have pushed it a bit more to make it pop, but all the same, good work.
