    Kite Surfing in Silvaplana, Switzerland

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     MarlaCimini captured a video of people kite surfing in Silvaplana, Switzerland, she says the sport is popular in that area. 'After being awestruck by the gorgeous mountain backdrop of the Alps, and the sheer number of colorful kites and kite surfers skimming the lake on this windy day at such high speeds, my initial thought was, "How is it possible that these kite surfers don't get tangled up with each other?"' she asked. She watched the kite surfers for hours and says a highlight was watching hundreds of them on the lake, crisscrossing each other in what she describes as stunning aerobatic-like display. 'Some of them appeared to dance in the gusts, as their giant kites pulled them upwards and several feet in the air,' she said.
