Get better at Kite Surfing

“Eventually, I learned kitesurfing quite easily, yet with bruised knees and a blue shin. I remember the moment I was kitesurfing independently, looking around me, the silhouette of the mountains in the far back, the different shades of blue beneath me and the instructor who, from a distance, gave me a thumbs up. Right then, I felt intensely satisfied and proud, as a child that just learnt to ride a bike.”

“After lessons I bought gear and continued by myself and it would take met the rest of the year to learn to surf upwind, transition and start jumping. Partly because I did my course at the start of summer and after that there was a heat wave, meaning no wind and I also stared out with a single 12m kite, so often the my gear or the wind weren't ideally matched. Kite-surfing isn't necessarily 'though', but that first year you can stop you're gym membership as you will be doing the walk of shame a lot (, walking back upwind with the kite) and getting dragged through the water after falling is also tiring especially if the water is a bit nippy. Once you start riding things get infinitely better, but you run into other things, like chop which are annoying to your knees and back.”
