Here’s a great way to stay fit: Kite Surfing

I just went Kite Surfing for the first time yesterday and it was nothing like what I expected.  Since I’m pretty athletic, I expected it to be easy.  It wasn’t.  It was more like “kite drowning.”  At the same time, I also expected it to be hard.  It wasn’t.  It was all about finesse and control, not strength.

If you’re looking for an exciting way to burn _lots_ of calories and spend time on the ocean getting a tan (I know, not everyone lives in Hawaii), kite surfing is the way to go.  I’ve had one lesson and I already feel like I’m picking it up.  There’s nothing like the feeling of controlling a huge Kite above your head.  I can’t wait to actually get on the board, ride around, and do jumps.  It looks exhilarating.
