奥巴马无官一身轻海岛度假玩风筝冲浪

Obama, and his wife, Michelle, have spent time vacationing with the Virgin Group founder since leaving the White House Jan 20.

1月20日离任之后，奥巴马和妻子米歇尔来到这里与维珍集团创始人布兰森共度假期。

Branson writes that Obama, a native of Hawaii, told him he was prevented from surfing by his security detail during his time in office, so he jumped at the chance to learn how to kitesurf.

布兰森写道，奥巴马告诉他，之前出于安全原因不能冲浪，所以这次他抓住机会学习如何玩儿风筝冲浪。奥巴马出生在夏威夷。

风筝冲浪是一项借助充气风筝，脚踩冲浪板的一种集聚刺激、惊险的水上运动。

风筝冲浪的原理非常简单，就是将充气风筝用两条或四条强韧的绳子连接到手持横杆上，借着操作横杆来控制风筝之上升、下降及转向，并结合脚下踩着的各式滑板，就可在海面、湖面、沙滩、雪地上滑行甚或将人带离水面作各种花式动作。

从照片和视像可见奥巴马笑容满脸，其中一幅照片显示布兰森闹着玩地双手握着奥巴马的脖子。

奥巴马和布兰森在船上。

“It was a huge honour to be able to invite President Barack and Michelle Obama down to the British Virgin Islands for a complete break after Barack finished his second term as President and the family left the White House,” Branson wrote.
