Way I am doing kitesurf? That is what I am trying to living for!

I am also fond of the sea, and when it is combined with a good spot, it a wonderful sport.

I enjoy doing it and I think that gets on really well with practicing kitesurf cool evenings relaxing on the beach, camps fire, guitar, even if there is no wind, I enjoy being on the beach and for sure to do yoga. I love skateboard too.
Material: I am using naish material because the gear is very good, easy to handle, good for high jumps and for hang time – the best!!!

Advice for someone who wants to start kitesurf:
Use security gears! Begin with an experimented teacher and wear a life jacket as well as a cask (helm).
That is really important!!
Then, you need a lot of space around you, and you have to survey it. Keeping near you, that might be very dangerous.
For the rest, practice as often as possible and enjoy it.
You must to try it!
This is the real sport!!
Kitesurfing!!!
