Reach new heights on your board
I have watched Kite Surfing on YouTube from time to time, and am always amazed at the air these guys are able to catch. I’m also always bummed that I don’t live close enough to an ocean to give it a try. Well, it looks like there’s something called a Wake Kite available, which allows you to have a somewhat similar experience behind your boat. It’s a pretty interesting setup. I think I’m going to have to start saving up for one. From what I’ve been able to see, the whole system is designed with safety in mind - you’d have to try really hard to get tangled up in anything. Except maybe tree branches, if you’re close to the shore, or low-flying aircraft. I keep trying to remember some old movie where they sang songs while flying a kite - maybe it was the ‘Sound of Music’? Great, now I’m going to have visions of the Mary Poppins lady twirling around on a grassy hilltop any time I think of Wake Kiting.
