Photos: Barack Obama, former president kite-surfing and horsing around with billionaire Richard Branson

Before strapping into his kite-surfing board, Obama and Branson horsed around on the boat 

Former President Barack Obama unwound from eight years in the White House with some extreme sports on his Caribbean vacation with billionaire friend Richard Branson.

New photos show the newly-retired Obama going kite-surfing with Branson during a recent getaway on the Virgin founder's private island.

The worries of the White House are clearly far from Obama's mind in the pictures - as he horses around with Branson on the boat, smiles widely for the cameras and then catches some air on his board.

The 55-year-old former president may be 'retired' now but he's still fit enough to take in some extreme sports 

Following Trump's inauguration last month, the Obamas first flew to Palm Springs, California, where the president treated himself to a few days of golf and desert air.

Then they were off again for Branson's own piece of the British Virgin Islands. The couple hung out with friends and lazed about the beach for more than a week - a much-deserved break after two terms.

Obama and first lady Michelle visited the island for a vacation after moving out of the White House last month 

Branson spoke about the 'honor' of being able to invite the former president and first lady to his island in a blog post on Tuesday.
