Today we decided to try out kite flying on Californian beaches. We drove to San Francisco to the ultimate kite store. See for yourself!
We bought a flexifoil kite which is good practice for future kite surfing
. We almost got their biggest kite which had a span of 2.6m but chose to take the cheaper, more reasonably sized one to start (~2m). Our kite came with a great bag and two different kinds of handles to fly it: a bar (like the one used for kite surfing) or two separate wrist bands.
After a quick lunch on the Half Moon Bay beach (nicest beach in our area) we launched. It was awesome! Wind was great and after just about 5 min of training we were competing to see who could do the most loops in a row. Score: Amanda – 12, Noé – 15!
Short movie will follow soon ! As you can see we had a good time
