Not enough hours in the day
So the wind is not the normal in south africa still. Its supposed to pick up early in the morning, but sometimes it doesnt pick up until dinner time. The solution = kite after dark!!!!! Needs must and moves need to be learned!! Enjoy the pics by Ian Edmondson!!!
I started Kitesurfing with the shop Funsport in Rhosneigr, North Wales while I was at University in Bangor! That was in 2002. I finished my degree in Zoology and Animal Ecology and then took a year out to go travelling and improve my kitesurfing. It took me a while to learn how to get up and going on a kite - 2 months. It takes most people 2 weeks but once I had that mastered it was quite quick that I learned some moves. I started competing a year later and finished 4th in the British Championships. I since became sponsored and then won the British Championships for two years in a row. In 2006 I competed for the first time on the entire world circuit and I finished 4th overall. My best result of the year was 2nd. In 2010 I came 2nd in the PKRA World Tour in Morocco which is the last competition I entered. Now I focus on creating magazine content and short movies for the internet. I have also set up a business in Kitesurfing Coaching Holidays helping others to improve their level.
