Kitesurfing School
Historic Gallery
In this historic Kitesurfing School photo gallery, we'll try to show
some last century photos (back in 1998, 1999) so you can put some faces to the names of
the pioneer kitesurfers mentioned in this web site. We'll also include
some modern famous kitesurfers and manufacturers.

This is what Carabete bay looked like "last century",

Terry). |
