Hey punters,
The kitegirls clinic which has been running all week is drawing to a close tomorrow. We will be riding at Pt Walter in the morning and shooting the final days video.
All of the girls are now fully up to speed on the theory, and setup of their gear, the physics and dynamics of the sport and most of the tricks, care and maintenance of their equipment, and can handle almost any conditions with confidence.
All of the girls have improved their confidence and riding style immensely. The girls all came with different needs and with different levels of riding ability. They all improved dramatically with some at lower levels mastering jumps and toeside riding whilst others learned toeside and backrolls. One particular young lady learned proper back roll kiteloops and raleys that would impress the most hardcore of riders. Style, good posture and confidence were the most obvious take away skills common to all the girls.
I am bummed it is coming to a close, and would sincerely like to thank the 5 participants in the first ever Kitegirls Riding Clinic in Perth for there enthusiasm, support, friendship and great senses of humour. Their dedication to their riding and their trust in me to help them on their endless progression and pursuit of fun in kiting. Many thanks also to all of the partners of the girls who encouraged them to come along and tolerated them talking about their learnings and fun had all week whilst you all were working.
Thank you all, I have been re-inspired and will continue to work and improve on this course and others like it for the future.
Very best wishes for blue skies and steady winds,
Darren Marshall
