I knew that windsurfing was always a popular sport on Botany Bay but what I hadn't realised was how popular kitesurfing had become. Another heatwave on the weekend sent the crowds out to the beaches and the strong breezes over the bay provided the perfect conditions for the windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts. This lone windsurfer (top) was outnumbered by the kitesurfers on the bay. On the beach (bottom), the resting kitesurfers were outnumbering the swimmers with their colourful kites scattered around them. Windsurfing or Sailboarding uses a board attached to a sail. Kitesurfing, also known as Kiteboarding or Parasurfing, involves a kite held by the hands and a board strapped to the feet.
