Florida Kiteboarding Lessons

We took our Florida kiteboarding lessons at the Kitehouse in Key West which is a school owned and operated by Paul Menta. Paul is the founder of Kite Surf the Earth which evolved into the Kitehouse, is a championship-level wake boarder and competitive kitesurfer. He once kited from Key West to Cuba and has been bitten by a shark, twice. He also repaired our boat when it broke down in the middle of the flats :)

Our instructors were Nick and Michael Minichiello, with Nick taking the lead. Mike and his wife, Clarissa Hempel, took some great photos which I will post as soon as US Air finds and returns my luggage. Luckily I brought my new Cabrinha Crossbow as a carry-on on my flight home. You should check out Mike and Clarissa's Web site too at YouWereThere.com.
