***VIDEO*** My 1st Kiteboarding video!
Hey everyone! I've been working on the water this summer and I'm finally up and riding
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?

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

Mood: They're ALL good ideas. Right up until they become BAD ideas.
?? You gotta pay to ride there? Is it a private body of water?

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.

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)
