Sunday Crissy Pic - finding kiter

I know how hard it is to get a good pic of yourself kiting. I dragged my wife out last sunday, and showed her how to use my "complicated" camera. I dont know who had more fun, she playing with the camera or me kiting.

hmm. I win.

Anyway, I wanted to share this pic, as I didnt catch the name of the pilot of the white Naish. Anyone know who it is, pm me or forward it on. I have a higher res shot. we got out before most people, at 3:30

Canon Rebel XT with Sigma 18-200 lens.

Cheaper side SLR with zoom. Works great for travel.

Most are of me, but that white kite is in some.

I know who that is on the white kite but for the life of me cannot remember his name. I have seen him out there quite a bit recently and also a few months back at OB. I will definatly let him know to check this thread out when i see him next.

I thought the yellow one was me at first but that was taken about half an hour before i got out in the water on sunday.
Looks like u have the same kite as me.
Very nice shots
:)

On the white naish is Ryan. I'll let him know the next time I see him.
He rides his bicycle to kite at crissy, as he lives 2 blocks away.
He uses his motorcycle to kite at OB, as he is green friendly.
He's looking for bow/sle recommendations as he might be making the switch.

Ryan Jones, one of the kiteboarders in the picture above, was killed in a car accident on the Bay Bridge last weekend. There will be a memorial service for Ryan Sunday Jul/27/2008 at 1pm at the Presidio Officers Club. As part of the ceremony Ryan's ashes will be spread in the Bay off Crissy Field where the picture was taken and Ryan loved to surf.

Ryan's family and friends would appreciate it, if Ryan's fellow kiteboarder would join the services and sail out into the bay with him for the very last time next Sunday.

Ryan was a truly exceptional person. If you would like to share stories about him, please do go http://inmemoryofryanjones.blogspot.com/.
