hahaha yea teaching your self and 06 kites don't mix, you kinda have to man up and go for it. Its worth it tho.

Yea i did however your only allowed to kite there when there are less then 10 windsurfers there which as you probably know is almost never. The only day people rode it when we were there was christmas day i believe.

pretty cool video man, the gopro shots are sweet and i was interested the whole way through.

just out of curiosity though, why do people choose kitesurfing over kiteboarding? i surf but i feel like i'd rather be strapped on a board if i had a kite

well i mean, its not really a choice, its like skiing pow vs park. you just do both hen you start to like more more then the other and you do it more.

ok thanks, makes sense. i was just thinking i'd prob rather be able to ride a board cause u can go switch and you're strapped in. both seem really cool though i've been dying to try
