Darpan News Desk IANS, 07 Feb, 2017 01:55 PM
    NECKER ISLAND, British Virgin Islands — Former President Barack Obama, and his wife, Michelle, have spent some time vacationing with Richard Branson since leaving the White House.
     
    The Virgin Group founder put up a blog post with pictures and video of the ex-president kitesurfing off one of Branson's private islands in the British Virgin Islands. Branson writes that Obama, who's a native of Hawaii, told him he was prevented from surfing by his security detail during his time in office.
     
    Branson says after spending a couple days learning to kitesurf, Obama bested the billionaire in a watersport challenge.
