Und wie geils is...
Anfangs noch mit billigem 300$ Kite, '04er North Rhino, was n Dreck!Mit Amanda, die Kiteinstructor bei sich in Chicago ist einen Tag nur mit reparieren, Safety-instructions verbracht, dann einen Tag geflogen und dann, nachdem am Tag drauf wieder zwei andere Ventile undicht waren, beschlossen doch die 1400$ auszugeben und einen neueren gekauft. Den gebrauchten '08er Naish Alliance von Chris dem örtlichen Kiteshopbesitzer, der aussieht wie ne verückte Fledermaus,
also der Kite nicht Chris...HeHe
Weil der aber bei weitem kein Beginner- sondern ein absoluter Prokite und zudem sackschwer aus dem Wasser zu relaunchen ist, bring ich ihn nach ein paar mal fliegen zurück, leg nochmal 480$ drauf und kauf mir einen nagelneuen '09er Cabrinha Switchblade in grün, weiß und schwarz.
Isn't it beautiful...
Argh I luv it!!!

Kiting, Kiting, Kiting....
The awsome carpark...
...directly on the Esplanade
that Stefan showed me. BBQ spots, where we had some naaaaaaice dinners...
sometimes even with Crayfish and prawns we got from Russel, David's Skipper!
With a shitload of backpackers in Campervans or other vehicles...
Like the 2 swedish guys that were sleeping in the shabbiest Mazda 323 1982 modell you can imagine. That's where I also met Amanda,
whos campervan had been stolen a couple of weeks earlier. She got it back though, but of course without the 4 kites and 3 Boards that had been in there and totally rundown. No fuel, no oil...bastards!!! Specially for her being kiteinstructor. With her Julia(on the right).
These two together with Martin are responsible for my new passion...
KITEBOARDING!!!!
