Kite Boarding: Lesson 3


I had my 3rd lesson in Kite Boarding yesterday and this is a shot of me trying to get up on the board. It’s kinda like playing the drums. You have to fly the kite, watch the board and avoid getting pounded by the 2 foot waves. I got up on the board for brief moments but couldn’t harness the power of the kite long enough to keep me standing. It was a great start though and next time, i’ll be up and running.

Marcia flies the training kite.
Marcia learned how to fly the training kite. a smaller kite that is used to understand the dynamics of flying the kite. Larger kites can literally pull you 20 feet off the ground. Marcia did a great job and despite her inital hesitance, really enjoyed it. Jorge says she’ll be in the water, next lesson. How cool is that?!
