    What would you like to learn how to do?

    Is there anything you've decided that you want to learn how to do?

    I've seen a few people on a local beach doing a bit of land kiting and I''ve been thinking for a little while that I wouldn't mind doing that so I think when spring comes I might go and take some lessons and if I like it invest in some equipment

    Seems like good fun and I've always liked flying.

    Here's a vid. Apologies in advance for the music.

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Did some land kite surfing this summer on a little trike go kart thing. Amazing.

    For me it would probably be free running, or parkour, to the standard of the best guys doing it now.
    Im back! Now what'd I miss?

    That's what the people do on the beach near me. But for some reason doing it out on the water just seems like a bit more fun. How easy was it to pick up?

    Well they had fully qualified instructors as weve just had a big X Sports place built near the beach so got a few lessons and away we went. It was quite difficult, I thought itd just be hanging on and blasting down the beach, but you have to play about with the kite constantly to keep a steady speed all the while adjusting your body so the thing didnt tip over. The worst part was stopping, that was scary.

    I'd like to learn how to play the drums to a high standard, and learn how to drive a racing car.

    One of my intentions is to get more serious about kayaking, and to gain some more stars and compete in more competitions. I'm currently a member of my local canoe club (which is flat water) and the one at Lancaster university (which is white water). However flat water is my preferred choice and I hope to start training more seriously with aim to racing in the next few coming years.
