Kiteboarding 101
September 22, 2009
I will be the first to admit that if you tell me to do something or not to do something, I’m going to ask immediately why? This really goes if I am not able to figure it out on my own.
Do not launch your kite directly in to the power portion of the wind window unless your an expert. You will fly regardless if that was your intent or not.
As an example of how I end up learning things to do and or not to do, please click here.
All in all, the first two days with Reids kite was great. Reid has a 13m Best Kite and over the weekend we took it out with some friends to give it a go. The learning curve isn’t impossible. We both have a good understanding of the principals behind kiteboaridng – what we do not have is the experience that affords us the balance aspect.
We will keep plugging along until we get it, or get hurt. With any luck ACE will have my kite and board on one of their two flights today. (come on Riley – help a guy out here!)
