Cocoa: Walk to the Pier

June 19 2018

 

 

The pier in Cocoa Beach is about a mile south of our place on the beach. Christina awoke early today and decided to make the hike in the relatively cool morning.

She took these pictures with her phone.

Kiteboarding

 

 

Kiteboarding is a form of surfing where the surfer controls a large kite with four control lines, holding on to be pulled through the water. There are two kiteboarders who ride in the ocean outside our place, and we've been enjoying watching them.

At first, the kites seemed to be just oddly shaped beach kites. Then, you would notice that the kite flyer was moving them up and down the shore, then into the surf. Finally, we could see that the kite flyers were in the water, and on boards. It seems an impossible sport, with plenty of balance and coordination.

It's fun to watch.
