Former President Barack Obama (bottom right) unwound from eight years in the White House with some extreme sports on his Caribbean vacation with billionaire friend Richard Branson (top right). Newly-retired Obama was pictured kite-surfing with Branson during a vacation on the Virgin founder's private Necker Island. He was seen fooling around with Branson on a boat (bottom left), smiling widely for the camera (top left) and launching himself into the air on a board (centre). The Obamas are now back in Washington, DC where they have chosen to stay while youngest daughter Sasha finishes high school.
