| Pinch me! |
It's really starting to feel like spring! The flowers are blooming, the air is getting warmer and most of all the inflows are starting. Woohoo!
We've all been waiting patiently here in Squamish for the season to kick in. Yesterday was our first real day with 20+ knots. With a super low tide the sand bars were exposed everywhere giving you some options.....flat, shallow water and ramped up waves in the river.
It was my first day of the season having a session on my strapless surf board and it was so much fun. It's just amazing to me that with kiting you have so many options. You can pretty much choose whatever you want to ride.....freeride, wakestyle, surf, wakeskate, skimboard, race or even kite ski. I've even watched a dude in Cabarete who had one leg shredding on a surf board, He just sat down on his board and away he went. It was truly inspiring for me!
One of the main reasons I was so attracted to kiting was the fact that you are at one with mother nature, Whether you're in the snow or on the water, you are using nothing but the wind and a sail to propell yourself. There is a feeling of peace and harmony for me when I'm out there, almost zen like. Sometimes I catch myself looking around at the scenery and am awe struck......The snow covered mountains, shannon falls gleaming in the sunshine, the seals popping their heads up out of the water, eagles flying over head, and the ocean creating a huge playground for me to explore.
