I'm 41, started at 35.

A good mate of mine started at the same time at 59, still going strong now 63ish.

There is hope for all of us


Hi Nic,
OK I'll own up. I turned 63 in June.
2011 is my biggest year yet for kite trips.
June AKS with Ant and Clayton at Cape Flattery
June Mauritius with Mike (Kitethrills)
August 2nd 39 days on Cocos with Jen.
October November & December in my van Exmouth and slowly south to Perth and
then west via Cactus, Whyalla etc to Melbourne for summer at home.
I don't think I'll be kiting at 70. Back is pretty knackered. Make the most of every day you have.
