I finally got to go kitesurfing today! YAy! I was very nervous on the drive there because it has been a very looong year since I went . To calm myself I ran over every little thing I could remember from my beginner course last year. Turns out all the worry was for nothing, Kitesurfing is just like riding a bike once you got it you got it. I had a wonderful instructor, Dominic, to help jog my memory and make sure i was comfortable in the water. My only regret is I still haven't figured out how to get a photo of it. Picture standing in the middle of clear blue skies and water to match it. A constant wind holds the 9 ft. kite in the air and I hold it to the ground thirty meters below. A board similar to one you would use snowboarding strapped to your feet. Dip the kite into the wind, get pulled to a stand and suddenly you're somewhere between flying and and sailing.
