Today was my official first day of kiteboarding in The Slick. It was blowing about 16 when I headed out on a 2009 Liquid Force 14m Havoc and my Mission. It took a bit to get up to the slick but once I was there it picked up a little at it was on! I really enjoyed the 14m kite wasn’t too slow and had a good amount of power and turning. I look forward to getting my quiver soon!
The theme of my session was back to basics. As it was my first time in bindings in about 3 months, I was going to stick to all the basics. No unhooked tricks, back rolls and front rolls with grabs in both directions. I was out for about a half hour and then it was time to help Jason, Sam and Joe with some work on the Red Bull Slider, then it was back to work.
