Kiting instructors spend all their time teaching when everyone else is on the water! :lol:

The pay's pretty good though so that means less hours working, after "work" pump the toys up and away you go.

Hey bear that's a mint setup man. Are you gonna do it again this summer? Do you have any other job or is the pay pretty mint.... I had a friend who taught kiting last summer and he was doing 1-2 lessions a day and was getting shiteloads more money than I was per week and i was working fulltime....

works out to about 35 an hour if i use the shop's gear. so yes it's pretty mint, i build and repair computers for some extra/off season dough which helps pay the way for http://www.kitingaustralia.com (gratuitous plug). I also work in the shop a couple of days a week which gives me time to screw around with gear and try to come up with new stuff,
so yeah if winter was a little warmer my life would be almost perfect.
killer 4.5 hour sesh today by the way

My work Really Sucks.
I Live in Buenos Aires.
Earn 450 U$S a Month.
A new kite here cost 1300 U$S in average.
Work from 8 Am to 8.30 Pm.
five days a week.
By the way I´m a Profesional in international Trade with an University degree.
So stop crying around, I wish I can have a 9-5 work.

Please Help me to find a solution.
I want time to kite, to be happy...

From Slavery,

Chak.

Become a kitesurfing instructor.... you'd probably get paid more per lesson than your current job pays you per day....
