Beauduc - Kitesurf Sessions 66 and 67

Another great weekend in Beauduc, with the KAF in full force! The forecasts were shitty all week, but by Thursday things started to look promising and, by Saturday, we were having massive fun. A special thanks to Fred for making a little space in his truck (beats the tent by miles!) and to Gui for the little lesson...

Back to school! - Kitesurf Session 65

After 2 years kitesurfing, it was fun to go down South to Beauduc with just my friend Michal (who did some of the nice photos here, by the way), who never tried this amazing sport before... The goal was, as you've certainly guessed, to put a kite on his hands and see how he felt!
Arriving on Sunday afternoon, we found the beach very quiet and with no wind. Being so, we set camp and decided to make use of the last rays of Sun to play a little game of Kubb (a swedish game I picked up in my last trip, invented a long time ago by the Vikings!).



By the next day, the Gods were on our side and we had good wind all day long, enough to get me tired and to get Michal up to the point where he body-drags very well and even tried his first water starts, without forgetting to learn all the security basics! I don't think I'm a particularly good teacher, but he certainly is a fast learner! Something tells me that the world has a new kiter...
