Kite Surfing at a place called Bedsheets in Brazil

Hannah Whiteley and friend kitesurfing lakes and sand dunes in northern Brazil, a spot known as Bedsheets.  

And now for something completely different.  OK, sure, these two women are hot, and they're in thongs, and you may think that's why I'm sharing this video.  But they freakin rip, it's a really beautiful sand dune and lake spot they're at, and they're hot.  Plus I like to add things besides BMX and skateboarding in this blog now and then.  It's a really cool video of kite surfing, under 5 minutes, check it out.  

This area they're at is officially known as Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses.  It's around 1,400 miles straight north of Rio de Janeiro, on the northern coast of Brazil.  It's a huge area, if you've got a moment, look it up on GoogleMaps/Earth, it's a cool spot, and much different than most of our ideas of Brazil, which I think of as the Amazon river, jungle, anacondas, indigenous tribes who eat tarantulas, and caimans.  

As a taxi driver in Huntington Beach, California in the early 2000's, I would pick up kite surfers in my cab once in a while.  Sunset Beach, just north of H.B., was big in the early days of kite surfing, and groups of them would kitesurf north, 3-4-5 miles, and pull out north of the H.B. pier.  They'd break down their equpiment, pile it in my trunk, and I'd drive them back to Sunset Beach.  They were all pretty cool, and other than leaving sand on the floor of the back seat and in the trunk, were fine passengers.  I've never really been drawn to try kite surfing, but I have sat on the beach and watched them launch off waves plenty of times.  I've never seen some of the moves Hannah and her friend are doing in this video, and like all action sports, progression is always happening.  Another unusual spot found, courtesy of the YouTube algorithm.
