Are you interested in Kite boarding? Well I have a kite here for sale. Its a 07GK Trix comes with nice carry bag. If you've been interested before you know these kites are 1200. and up. Ill let this go for a reasonable price or Im in the market for a Pit bike. Will do a even trade for a pit bike. If you wanna learn I suggest getting into it before summer gets here. Once the beachs are slammed its hard with out killing someone. So get you a wet suit and get out there!

Im the last person in the world you want lessons from! When I got into it there were to many swimmers and people all over the beach. Thought I was gonna kill someone. I may start going again around April. Anyone is more than welcome to join. We can assist each other in staying ALIVE!

Probably not a good thing to post considering he is trying to make a sale.

That shit was the funniest thing ever!! He was a dumb ass and tried to do it during a Hurricane.. not so smart. When I first started I got dragged down the beach with 20 knot winds.. its not so bad though. Falling off a bike is much worse.

Generally I don't think anyone that kiteboards would call it a "safe" sport. Jesus, you're risking your life on THE WIND!! Which is a completely unpredictable force of nature.

Oh its not that bad.. If you have what it takes to ride a bike you only need half of that to strap your self to a kite. I see 60yr old men out there all the time and doing it better than me. Lots of woman out there to, one day ill be on that level !!!
