  • “It’s like flying on a cloud,” says 77-year-old kite surfer David Cummings. After his wife died of breast cancer just two days after her chemotherapy began, Cummings decided to seize life by the reigns and began kite surfing and snowboarding. The Englishman has been kite surfing for the past four and hopes heaven resembles his daily routine of gearing up and letting the kite pull him across the ocean.

      Because they're all a bunch of bitter jealous haters...hating on someone living life to the fullest and theyre stuck at home watching tv and disliking videos with a tub of popcorn resting on their oversized belly

    Guy like that on our beach, used to call him old Danny when he windsurfed (over 20 years ago) now he's old Danny that kitesurfs, he's possibly in his late seventy's or even eighty's! Legends!

    This is the kind of life i would love to live. To remain young at heart and never stop doing the things that you love most. Good on you, David Cummings.

    Good for you. I'm 61 and started kiting about 1 year ago. I wakeboard regularly too. As I now live in Scotland, I'm considering snowboarding this winter.
