Sometimes you forget how much the little things mean.
Yesterday I watched on with imense pride as my missus nailed her first turn.
Then as she let out a loud "Woo Hoo" that caught everyones attention, she promtly fell off and got dragged up the beach.
She then jumped up, dusted her self off and headed straight back out again without even dropping the kite.
That's my girl

good on ya missus moons, love that stuff

one of the bigger buzzes out of kiting for me is watching the same people get better and better, always fun and hearing someone do the woo hoo knowing they've done something that means alot to them

... and just as cool is when your son does the whoo hoo as he does his first deliberate jump,,,, or self launches himself in 20 knots safely,,,, or when he self rescues or punches out when in a sticky situation!

Yep, the little things!!!!

agreed puetz. Watching my son Progress at a rapid rate is the best feeling . It almost makes up for my lack of progress.

"hey dad its 19-23 knots already- lets go" are some af the best words Ive heard in a long time....

sharing the whoo hoo is the best!!

my son is only 3, already carries around an old kiteboard and bar, when I get home he puts it next to mine to be washed... can't wait to experience what you have described!!

... and one of my most memorable kites in my life wasn't the most epic but where the missus, son and I, nicely lit and blasting about, til it got too dark to see, just the three of us sailing past the sunset, fully stoked and whoo hoo'ing each other as we passed by!!
