The High-Flying Kitesurfers of the Balinese Coastline

A person in a red vest and dark shorts is kiteboarding across a body of water. They are on a board and holding onto a kite line, creating a spray of water as they move. The sky is clear and blue, with a thin white line of surf in the distance. Another person is visible on the board with them.
