Friday I had the opportunity to receive a quick lesson with a Kite. My friend Mark Thompson met me at a secret boarding spot in Hood River, Oregon. We picked up a Slingshot trainer kite. Mark was patient with me explaining how not to "drive" the bar like a steering wheel. The gear, the lines it all seems rather intimidating but Mark reassured me that even kooks start some where. With all the other activities I enjoy, one wonders shall I take on another. YES! I have messed around surfing on the Oregon coast always wishing for quality waves. Here I have Hood River, a world class Kiteboarding spot right in my back yard. I think I will be able to progress quickly once I get this gear figured out!
