I am currently almost a 1/3 of the way through a 9 month trip traveling through 11 different countries kiting and surfing where ever I can. I love seeing new places, meeting new people and exploring. So far I have had many firsts, like kiting in 9 degree water in the Puget sound, kiting in the Gulf of Mexico, and now the Atlantic. But what I love most about traveling is the serendipitous moments when something cool happens. From the kindness of total strangers my wife met a woman who attended one of her art workshops and gifted us the use of her house on a private island eco sanctuary. We decided to take up her offer. We arrived to good wind, tiny waves and a 4 mile stretch of empty beach. (I have been kiting solo in most places I have been). I did not see anyone in the water the whole time we were there, and talking to one of the locals who has a sup rental said he had never seen a kiter on the island before. The surf came up the last day due to a tropical cyclone Ana off the coast but I forgot to charge the Gopro :( duh.....(this is the first time I have had one so still learning the ropes). The wind pumped the whole time we were there, and as much as I loved it, it would have been great to share the stoke with someone. So I am sharing it with you. This is not a video about the debates of strapped or strapless, big or small waves, flat water vrs ocean or whatever. It's just about exploring and having fun. It's my first clip so nothing too fancy here. I hope to improve on the quality as I get better with capturing images and editing.
Hope you all in Oz are doing well ;)
