 This is my first image ever in a publication. Kiteworld Magazine packaged "The Kiteworld Guide To: Holidays" along with their April-May '07 issue. This picture is on page 72 along with an article about kiteboarding in Miami.

Ken, the kiteboarder in the picture, is an instructor who writes articles in hopes of having them published. He asked me to provide him pictures of the good spots in and around Miami to kitesurf to submit with his article on the same to magazines. This magazine didn't publish his article along with all of the shots that I took. They wrote a guide to 22 spots around the world and they used this one shot for a brief write-up about kitesurfing in Miami.

It's not the cover, but it's a start.

I provided both the original and my post processed version. It looks to me like they used my post processed version with their own slight crop off of the top. I recropped my version here to match what they published.
