Default Kids and Kitesurfing

Some killer vids I found on Youtube. Enjoy. I can't wait to do this with my mine.

The progression of a 5 yr old at kitesurfing.
Being pulled on the beach, behind a boat, flying the kite, then with dad.


Now watch a 4 yr old doing it with his dad too!!!


Incredible!



Got pics or vids with your kids, post em!

My daughter and I have been building confidence in the water for the past few years. Here is some pics of 2 years of training that finally came to a point where she was ready to get on board and go for a ride. It was a great moment for both of us. In classic fashion after about 15 seconds of riding on our first tack, she asked me if we could jump. Fearless!!!!

Now if I could just find some time to teach her how to ride a bike. LOL!

Here are some pics of last weekend wakesurfing for the first time behind the boat. This was key to working the logistics of getting on the kiteboard together.







Notice no rope. That's wakesurfing!!!!!

Not sure what the future holds, just enjoying the present.
