KiteboardING 101 -- Getting Started


KiteboardING 101
Part II: Get Started

Part II of today's official “Kitesurfing” Day! Bing.com is promoting a #summerofdoing …basically cool adjectives of ING sports and hobbies with this week all about #Riding

Last year I hosted a Learn to Kiteboard video series for the International Kitesurfing Organization (IKO). They are the worldwide premiere school for learning to kite. A lot about kitesurfing is counter-intuitive, so learning from a certified instructor allows you to learn the sport quickly and safely.

Trailer for the series:


You can go to http://ikointl.com for tips, locations, schools, and general information on taking your kitesurfing ability to new levels.

The series takes you through the basics of equipment, learning to ride, edging upwind, self lauch,  self rescue and jumping.

  1. There is no poor time to visit Lake Tahoe since the weather is pleasant throughout the year. The lake is the focal point of interest throughout the summer months. The atmosphere is less boisterous than normal, and no one is in a hurry to get to the slopes. It's ideal for those lazy days when you want to relax on a boat on the water, taking in the sun's rays. The North Tahoe boat rentals allow you to explore the lake in a way that you have never experienced before, while also enabling you to learn why the lake is more than just a ski destination, but rather a destination for all seasons.
