It's a pity the woman's face is obscured by the bar float. It makes her look like one of those "no standing" signs.

Thank you guys for your feedback!

Here comes version 2

Image

* I scaled up the girl a little bit. (can't scale her to much since she might become unsharp)
* Added my logo at the bottom
* Removed some of the noise
* Added "med gusty.se" at the top right corner.

for those that wonder what the text means in english, here is a translation:

Learn to kitesurf! (with gusty.se!)

Did you know that kitesurfing is the fastest growing extreme sport in the world?
Take a course and you'll understand why! :)

For more info visit gusty.se
or send email to gustav@gusty.se


Regarding the girl that has the floater across her face... that´s of course a pity, but you can't believe how hard is to find a good photo for making a poster! Searching for a good photo was the part that took the longest time when I did this poster. Searching on google is more or less useless since all 99% of the photos are in low resolution.
99% of the good photos that I got my hands over show guys and I prefer to have a girl to target both males and females.
And from the remaining photos with girls, how many do you think show a "pretty" girl performing a nice trick without turning her face away, showing her ass or the bottom of her board...

PS. I got this photo from Terrie, so all credits to him!

The foto is OK for someone who kites already (intermediate).
Someone who has never done it will be more attracted to a more classic ride instead of a raily.
A smiling rider waving or something like that.
Just My opinion.

I hear ya, but again, finding a high resolution 300 dpi photo of a smiling rider carving on a perfect wave is :censored: impossible!

Not even shutterstock and those sites where you can buy photos have anything useful... The best I can find on shutterstock is this photo:

If you know where I can find a better photo, please let me know =)
