EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Georges Gobet, we are transported to the picturesque Hourtin pond on February 5,2017. As strong winds relentlessly sweep across France's Atlantic coast, two daring athletes find solace and exhilaration in their chosen water sports - kitesurfing and windsurfing. The image beautifully captures the essence of a leisurely yet thrilling lifestyle that these individuals have embraced. Against a backdrop of azure blue waters and an expansive sky, the kitesurfer gracefully glides through the air while skillfully maneuvering his colorful kite. In perfect harmony with nature's elements, he defies gravity as if dancing with the wind itself. Meanwhile, just a stone's throw away, a windsurfer harnesses the power of gusts to propel himself forward at remarkable speed. With sheer determination etched on his face, he effortlessly balances on his board while expertly controlling his sail. This photograph not only showcases these adrenaline-fueled activities but also highlights how humans can harmoniously coexist with nature's forces. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging conditions like strong winds hitting France's Atlantic coast; there is always room for adventure and enjoyment. Georges Gobet has masterfully frozen this moment in time – encapsulating both tranquility and excitement within one frame. Through this image from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are invited to witness the beauty of vertical leisure sports against the serene backdrop of Hourtin pond –
