X/Alphabe-Thursday

 Wind surfing - Xhilarating!

X is for exhilarating  Xilerating 

Well, I have never tried this sport but this guy was having tons of fun!

 Another wind surfer

Although the day was dreary, cold and windy, this guy seemed to be thrilled to be out sailing on the water too.

Looks like an OOPS! moment

Actually, the windsurfer was coming in for a break to adjust something on his sail.

Brief stopover

His friend came in for a few minutes too.

    Judging from the wet suits they're wearing, I'm guessing the water was rather cold.

    Although I'm not a sports type, I wish I could enjoy sea even if just swimming. (because of my broken ear drum, I can't since child, haha) Just surprising that they don't care the cold sea :-)

    Terrific action shots, esp. the first one. I've not done this, either...I think it became popular after I had grown up and realized I could hurt myself doing something dangerous! :)

    I think you have to be very strong to do that sport!

    That is quite the sport. Many of us with back issues can shudder at the thought!!!!

    Looks cold to be windsurfing. But I know they do it in any type of weather. I live near Hood River, Oregon which is a huge windsurfing mecca.

    Nice pictures, Ms. E.G.T. Guide. That looks like fun, "xhilarating" to say the least. They all picked pretty places to surf too.

    looks like loads of fun - two things that I love: water and wind! And they look like they can stand the cold in their wet suits. Wouldn't catch me in a skin-tight outfit, even if I could windsurf. {:-D

    there is a school 5 mins from my house, I son went once, and he didn't go again. I suspect he didn't like falling.
