Kiting.
It's all I can think about.
I'm in the pupa stage of flying, sure, but oh, wow...once you get a taste, you can only imagine that it just gets better and better.
Phil has been kiting for years; it is his job after all, and it is the very reason that brought us out here to Maui to begin with. He spends so much time out on the water that I'm certain the boy has grown gills; for every moment in our marriage that I have complained or whined about his obsession with the sport and the time it takes away from "us", I'm suddenly getting a taste of what he has spent the last seven years trying to explain to me.
I think I'm slowly beginning to understand.
But ssshhh, don't tell him that. ;)
Crazy fun! What a thrilling hobbie!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned you on my blog today! I really appreciate your kind words!
Have a great evening!
Ohhh how exciting! I would love to try kite surfing =) I miss the beach so badly! xo
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! I want to try paddleboarding! I have a picture JUST like this from our trip to Maui. SOOOOO many wind surfers/kite surfers. It's weird, but you don't really see that here on Oahu. Just lots of paddleboarders.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about paddling:)
Indulge!
Fun! I think it's awesome that you've been "bitten". :)

I guess I never realized 'kiting' was a verb! Or an actual sport...I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was such a sport! It sounds pretty interesting, but maybe a little scary! I love this picture!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun :-)))
ReplyDeleteWow, I cannot even imagine how breathtaking that must be! I would love to try someday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time!! Have you secretly been converted??? Good on you for getting up the nerve to do it.
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh I watched a travel channel show about Hawaii and became obsessed with the idea of learning how to kite for a few days. Considering I'm still in Connecticut, I'm going to have to put the dream on hold and live vicariously through you. :) How hard is it to learn?
ReplyDeletepsst - new blog link below. I'm trying to get back into it! :)
