As I mentioned in an earlier post I intend to try out some new sport now that I am in a new country. First of which was kite-boarding. So, last Saturday I went for a kite-boarding lesson. The day before it had been blowing a gale and that was when I booked the lesson. It was meant to continue like that but come Saturday morning the wind had died down to a steady 5-10 knots. My tutor was a French guy about my age who is traveling the world and working in Melbourne as a cook. He was actually a really good teacher and the lesson was well worth the money. The kites were not that hard for me to control and apparently I was doing quite well as a trainee. Unfortunately I didn’t feel the rush of the sport that I was expecting and have decided to put further advancements in the art of kite-boarding on hold. I still wouldn’t mind getting my own kit at some stage and play around with kite-boarding but for now there are just too many other things to try out.
