Kite surfing in Silvaplana's by mortimer

Silvaplana - Switzerland The Maloja wind is a thermal wind creeping up the steep slopes of the Bergell valley producing a constant strong wind in the upper Engadin valley feared by the bikers and walkers but loved by the surfers allowing them to get some great speed and make freaky manouvers. This one is about 15meters in the air you can find him just right of the tower of the castle like mansion in the centre of the image.
