Hey all just wanted to say hello, just getting into kiteboarding (picked a terrible time LOL) but should have plenty of hrs on my trainer kite by the time the winds are consistient again! Im 48 and excited to get into something new. flew hang gliders for a number of years berfore I got married (not really a family sport!) then got into wakeboarding and that has been harder to do since my son is now serving in Afghanistan. This looks like a great way to combine my two favorite sports (flying and boarding) looking forward to some lessons in Alameda as I work in San Leandro. Any other members in the Livermore area? Lookng forward to seen ya on the water!

Welcome to the addiction. I've never been hang-gliding but that looks like a lot of fun too. BTW this must be you...

Welcome. Don't waste your time taking lessons in Alameda. Head out to Sherman Island and see Nat Lincoln at Edge Kiteboarding. You will be up and riding much faster with Nat.
