Intro:

Since the beginning of 2003 I’m kiteboarding, before I got into kiteboarding I was a fanatic inline skater. Besides inline skating I did a lot of windsurfing and platform diving. During my windsurf period I learned how to handle the wind, inline-skating helped me with keeping balance on kickers and
sliders and platform diving gave me more body control and
I learned how to handle crashes in the water.

How to Learn Kiteboarding:

Before you are going to buy your equipment, take a kite lesson. A kite lesson is very important, during this class you will learn the basic steps. A kite has so much power, so take a lesson before you start practicing on your own. Take a look at the website from the kite school Sky High.
