Key West Florida Kiteboarding Nov. 20, 2005www.kitebytes.comWe took our Florida kiteboarding lessons at the Kitehouse in Key West which is a school owned and operated by Paul Menta. Paul is the founder of Kite Surf the Earth which evolved into the Kitehouse, is a championship-level wake boarder and competitive kitesurfer. He once kited from Key West to Cuba and has been bitten by a shark, twice. He also repaired our boat when it broke down in the middle of the flats :) Our instructors were Nick and Michael Minichiello, with Nick taking the lead. Mike and his wife, Clarissa Hempel, took some great photos which I will post as soon as US Air finds and returns my luggage. Luckily I brought my new Cabrinha Crossbow as a carry-on on my flight home. You should check out Mike and Clarissa's Web site too at YouWereThere.com. High resolution photos of these pictures are available - email me if you want them at chris.breikss@gmail.com and I'll send you the download link. |
