Kite Boarding Colorado

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing is the latest water sport sweeping the globe in the new millennium. If you have seen someone kiteboarding you know that not only does this sport look amazing but it is fun to watch. Many kiteboarders became enthralled and obsessed with learning this sport after seeing it for the first time. “…but it looks so easy” is a common statement I hear from students who thought they would be riding in the three hour lesson. The truth is kiteboarding is really not that hard. It is multitasking of wakeboarding and flying a kite. And learning to safely launch and fly kiteboarding kites takes some time. A minimum of about 3 hours of lesson time is a must. There is no bunny hill in kiteboarding; at any second the wind can pick up and you are on the triple black diamond. The first goal of new kiteboarders should be safe and independent. As an avid kiteboarder myself, I can agree that this sport is no joke. At any given minute the weather can shift on you causing a situation that may be potentially fatal.
