Hey All,
I just had my first experience standing up on a board down at Waquoit yesterday. Now I can't stop thinking about it! (I am sure that it is a common affliction)

Thanks to George from BKS, I had a great lesson and was up on my third try or so. I had a *lot* of biffs and bad starts, and drank a lot of salt water, but I'm hooked. I cant wait to get out on the water again.

See ya out there!

It is hard to believe, but it only gets better! Thanks for sharing the stroke!

George from Boston Kite School does a great job! I highly recommend him and have heard this feedback often Smile Of course I am not excluding other great instructors but certainly happy to hear your success!

congrats

Congrats Dort, there's nothing quite like getting up and going for the first time. Definitely brace yourself for a demanding (and rewarding) addiction.

Congrats!

I hope we don't see you on that show "intervention" in a couple years.
