- How did I start the first day of the year?
The sea temperature now in Limassol is 20 degrees Celcius (68 Fahrenheit), and the wind is 15 knots. This is also an excellent time for kitesurfing.
I've been kitesurfing for two years. And I can tell the difference between a novice and an average rider.
When you start kitesurfing - one thing you will have for sure - is some dull pain in the neck after each session.
This is happening because you are constantly looking up at the kite.
All the attention is focused on the kite position. Only after about 40 hours of overall riding for several months you'll start feeling the kite.
The more you ride - the more you fill the kite with your hands.
With your hands, you begin to feel how tight it is and where it is directed.
For the first several months most of the time, you will be looking up at the kite. This leads to some pain in the neck which is normal.
Sometimes you will have to look in the direction of the sun to find where the kite is located.
However, after some time you will notice that you are looking up at the sky not so often. More focus will start to shift to other things.
It's like when you are a young car driver - it's difficult to concentrate on driving and at the same time - to speak to the person.
But after a couple of months you can do both things easily: drive and speak. The same applies here: the more time you spend kiting, the less you need to focus on the kite position.
You just feel it.
And you are enjoying it more.
Also, if I plan to go kitesurfing - I know that at least half of the day I should reserve for it.
It consumes time and this is one of the reasons I'm not going out so often.
So in order to go out for a session those things you will have to consider:
- The wind forecast ( in my case, it has to be above 12 knots. ). No wind - no kiting.
- If there is wind, but it is raining - no kiting.
- I usually need to allocate about 6 hours of my time for it. Otherwise, if I have other things to do - no kiting.
- Also even after coming home - I still need about 40 minutes to wash the gear with tap water. And let it dry for at least a night.
- It is easy to damage kite by the way. One big splash on the water could be enough to finish the day earlier. So if you are a beginner - I would recommend getting
the kite on a middle budget, better used one - if it will be damaged - you won't be upset.
Similarly, if you are a young driver, you will most likely not purchase the most expensive car possible because there is a greater chance of an accident occurring.
But there are lots of positive things here:
- The feeling of the wind and the sea is amazing. Is some kind of feeling of freedom. Riding for a day at the sea gives me energy for the next couple of days.
- Also it consumes a lot of physical energy and I would say - it can replace a training day in a gym.
- I noticed that with a regular waist harness, I have back pain if I ride a lot during the day. So what is working for me - I often use a seat harness.
Is not that comfortable - but I don't have back pain. And seat harness works well for me.
If you are planning to start kitesurfing - I would recommend - definitely go for it. At least take a beginners' course. With a teacher, you will be more or less safe.
You don't need to get any gear for the lessons. It will be provided for you. And you will definitely know if kitesurfing is right for you.
I can tell that it can be more painful at first. But after practicing it becomes more fun and enjoyable.
Thank you guys for watching. If you enjoyed the video, please like it, and I'll see you soon.
