***VIDEO*** My 1st Kiteboarding video!

MikeDobbs - 30-8-2014 at 07:35 PM

Hey everyone! I've been working on the water this summer and I'm finally up and riding :cool:

Put some footage together from a recent session for this video. Nothing too exciting- I can only go left, right, and transition (most of the time) so far, so no jumps or anything. Just capturing some of my early moments on the water for posterity. Check it out- hope you like it!



PS: the music is from YouTube's available audio- seems very John Holgate-esq to me... what do you think?

cool , nice man!

Awesome man! Would love to try the water myself one day. :thumbup:

Very nice...but isn't the water like 80d there? Don't like to get cold much

MikeDobbs - 31-8-2014 at 05:37 PM

Thanks guys! @abkayak- yeah the water's beautiful. I don't know if it's quite 80- but was very comfy in my 3/2 suit

Good job Mike ..... I need to visit NY kite center for some marsh action ....

It's a wicked awesome spot Kober- just a bit expensive. $119 for 3 hrs. 25% off right now though if you're interested...

?? You gotta pay to ride there? Is it a private body of water?

abkayak - 3-9-2014 at 12:21 PM

boat and or jet ski from the dock (school) to the area and back provided...and some IKO or whatever eyes on you
it is accessible in other ways too

MikeDobbs - 3-9-2014 at 01:04 PM

Like abkayak said- the water is open to the public, but really only accessible by boat.

Needless to say- I am looking for a boat, or (even better) a friend with a boat! :D

Definitely don't need a boat to get there, just need to know where to go. Plus setting up on the "islands" puts a lot of wear and tear on your equipment.

Looks like you enjoyed it! Soon I will get myself a kiteboard, still practicing flying static :D

Sweet!

MikeDobbs - 21-9-2014 at 12:24 PM

Thanks guys!

@Mostly Harmless - would you mind sharing where to go? I'm struggling finding riding spots where I can access shallow water without a boat around here. Would love it if you could point me in the right direction. (I also sent you an email in case you don't catch this post)
