Nitinat Kiteboarding

We are back from our 3 day Nitinat kiteboarding trip and it was killer! We are planning a return trip June 25-26th.

Day 1
25-30 knot winds and we flew 4.5m, 6m, 8m, 11m kites throughout the day as the wind changed. We spent most of the day body dragging and had 5 runs each. By run I mean, we would body drag down the lake and then get picked up in the Sea-doo and driven back to the launch spot.

Day 2
Wind did not pick up until early afternoon but we brought the boards out when it did and I was able to get up anjd have a 30 second run on my 2nd try. Later in the day on a 15m I had a longer run going a little upwind, changing directions and even rode switch for a few seconds :)

Day 3
No wind today so we messed around on the beach waiting for it to come up but no luck. I made a flag and pole that I am very proud of.

There will be a lot more details to follow, but I missed a couple of days of work and need to get caught up! Please check out our pictures from our trip in the Nitinat Kiteboarding Image Gallery
