Starting Right with Our 1st Kiteboarding Lesson
We didn’t have the greatest wind or the greatest weather, but it was enough to have a good time learning proper kite flying from the friendly crew of XLKites in Fort Walton Beach. Phil taught me basic kite flying and safety techniques starting with a 3m Slingshot trainer kite, then up to a 9m Cabrinha Contra and lastly a 14m Carbrinha Contra. Sarah got a little bit of video of me ’surfing’ down the beach which we’ll try to post later. We also uploaded the last of our photos from Damien LeRoy’s Cabrinha Gear Tour which you can see in our Kiteboarding Album.
