So I went out today deciding it was time to try something new and decided F16's were on the agenda. I don't think I've ever nailed a trick like this one (probably cause it's really not that technical) but nonetheless after 5 cracks had it dialled and was well stoked throwing them down for the next 2 hours.

As I'm heading back to the beach I hear a guy whooping out on the water. I get back and one of the boys tells me that the whooping I had heard was from a guy that had got up on his board for the first time today.

Made me think, whether throwing F16's or getting up for the first time is there any better feeling. Only kiteboarders know it. Share the stoke and live the dream boys and girls. I know 2 of us that decided today was definitely a good day kiting.

The guy with the biggest smile wins.

It is easy to go out and do the same thing each time you ride. Trying something new or riding at a different spot keeps it fresh and can rekindle the stoke for those that have lost it !
