RACHEL MARTIN, HOST: Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. They say the presidency ages you, wears you down. And that may be true, but a recent photograph of Barack Obama kiteboarding shows that life after the White House can be pretty exhilarating. As president, Obama wasn't allowed to do water sports - too risky. Now he's out of office and free to channel his inner adrenaline junkie. The photos show the Hawaii native hanging out on a boat and smiling like the weight of the world has been lifted from his shoulders. It's MORNING EDITION.
Obama wasn't allowed to do watersports as president — it was too risky. Now many of those safety restrictions are no more, and he's taking full advantage by kitesurfing in the British Virgin Islands.
