Kite Surfing

I can feel Spring in the air and it makes me anxious to gather my kiting gear and get ready for another season of playing in the waves and water. I finally bought a new wetsuit this year after having my last one for 7 years. I am so excited to kite as much as possible this year and hopefully explore some new locations around the globe with warm water and wind: Vietnam, Mexico, Uruguay... I will take more photos of the kiting scene around the Bay Area this year as well, here are a few from the past for now.

It was great to photograph and enjoy wonderful music from so many artists at the recent fundraiser for Haiti at the Independent!


SILA and the Afrofunk Experience (www.victorsila.com) was the headliner and Meklit Hadero (www.meklithadero.com) started the night. She is one of my favorite local performers, originally from Ethiopia, her amazing voice and energy are always so powerful!

The Haitian Afro-Caribbean band Kalbass Kreyol was also outstanding and they played a series of benefit concerts to raise money to rebuild Haiti following this show at the Independent. (www.kalbasskreyol.com)

Here is a list of all of the other amazing performers: Bayonics, Native Elements, J-Boogie, Joe Bagale, Aima The Dreamer, Thank you Julius, Dj Jeremiah & the Afrobeat Nation, Non Stop Bhangra, Dj Felina, DJ Amar & Electric Vardo Live
