Just had my first born on Friday, Elara Lily Swaine. I have already started training her kitesurfing motor skills, using my finger as a bar and blowing wind on the back of her head.

Anyway im super stoaked, and to those guys watching your kid being born, a word of caution... their heads are coneshaped when they come out... Nobody told me this, and I seriously thought my kid was deformed!

Congrats mate, great news
enjoy the new world of sleeplessness and endless worry.

congrats on the newborn

Congratulations Echo. I'm only just in front of you. Got my son Alex into it as early as possible. 3 months old and already reading the bible.

Oh, and Reli isn't kidding about the sleepless nights unfortunately.

Hey Echostorm,

Congratulations mate,

I too have girls one 3 years going on 16, and one 4 months. If I'd have known before she was born, I would have said to you enjoy your last sleep in, enjoy your last coffee in a cafe, enjoy your last movie at the cinemas and your last restaurant feed.

Aside from that, it's one of lifes great joys and as Reli said, stresses. Oh and by the way, your missus is likely to get a little feral with lack of sleep for the next 3-4 months, just roll with it.

Have fun with her,

good winds,

Quality!

Congratulations Echo!!! Don't listen to what everyone else has said, the sleepless nights and lack of socialising is worth it!!!

Congrats Mike - Elara's a great name.

My 2 girls (Tilly 4yrs and Charlotte 3yrs) are already dead keen on kitesurfing - and already showing better skill than me on the little trainer kite. Yeah life changes, and it can sometimes be harder to get out for session, but its all worth it and before you know it they'll be pumping up your kite for you.

nice one mike, my 5 yr old boy loves trying to pump up the kite - he can only get it to about 3 bar though then I have to do the rest.

do you pump your kite up to 43 PSI?!?!
