That windmill is making me extremely nervous…
So when you say “kiteboarding lesson #1”, you really mean you had been
kiting for 7 years already…
Hey thanks for the tips. I live in Boston MA. Cheers
First day and you are riding like that? you did well:) I was self taught,
took me ages to figure it out…but soooo glad I had the patience. Best
thing I ever learnt to do! I love kiting, and get out when I can. But yes,
its an activity that requires respect for kites and the ass kicking they
can give if you get it wrong…or dont look after your gear or dont have
respect for the weather.
Flying kites, yes. Kiteboarding, no. Small but fine distinction.
Well done bet you are better now .
I could fly a 2-line stunt kite and 4-line power kite before I had this
lesson. To get up on the board – that was probably my first day. Lessons
are a great idea – you need to know all the safety points and have someone
around to keep your out of trouble. Then, my advice is to get a small
trainer kite and learn to fly the ass off it – this sport is all about
flying the kite! I can probably give you some names of people to talk to if
you PM me your location …
very nice, how many hours did it take you to get to this point ? I’m
thinking of taking some lessons. Cheers
Thanks 😀
Great stuff I just pocked up that same board down my local tip !! going to
use it for a while before I use my North board.. do my learning on this
Airush one first!
Depends where you are – you’re better off going into a shop, getting some
lessons on their gear and seeing what you like. Repeat at different shops
… the gear all feels a little different, safety systems work a little
different … I like Cabrinha but that’s just me …!
thanks
