Today I had to go back to Nevis for another session so Michel took Kara and I over. We had a good session in the morning then had lunch. As we were waiting for our food I get a call from someone telling me that my kite was floating away in the water. We rushed to the beach to see my kite way out there floating away into the middle of the sea. The wind had shifted and then died so I was unable to take another kite to rescue mine. Lucky enough some of the local fishermen noticed my kite floating away and rescued it for me. I gave them a nice tip for a job well done. Also that was only my second time in Nevis ever and its a good thing I had handed out some business cards yesterday to some people I met on the beach and they were nice enough to call.

Thanks guys!!!

Today John and I finally made it to Nevis  to go scout out some new kiteboarding spots. Man did we hit the jack pot. There is a beautiful spot at Herberts Beach about a 7 minute drive from the car ferry port. It has endless amount of flat water that is blocked by reef. It has a nice big beach to set up on and beautiful scenery. I had a great session. I was nice and powered on my Prima Donna 3 7m and was riding great. Couldn’t ask for a better day.

Fred had contacted me saying he was coming down on vacation and wanted to kite with me. Sure enough when I met up with Fred on the beach to my surprise he is a 70 year old man. Fred and I had a wonderful kite session together and Fred is doing small jumps.  With some tips of mine he started to land them a lot better and I told him I was going to teach him a back roll. He has a few more days and I am excited to see him try a back roll and land them.

People have a big misconception about kiteboarding that it takes a lot of strength and so on. However my oldest student was a 68 year old man and my youngest was an 8 year old girl. Most people definitely have more strength then them so get out there and give it a try.

This sport is for EVERYONE!!!
