My brother’s s father inlaw has Parkinson’s. 15 years after diagnosis he has learned to play the guitar and competes locally in ballroom dancing. Not my choice of pastimes but both hobbies require balance, coordination, and dexterity. His hand tremor is slightly more pronounced. Keep moving buddy. F...

With respect to Greenturtle.

He doesn’t measure the wind. He decides what the wind speed is.

He lands 11 out of 10 tricks. After attempting 6.

He doesn’t untangle his lines. They are scared straight.

He doesn’t load and pop the water retreats.

He taught Chuck Norris to kite.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Cartagena due to work. Often when I have been there it seems there are kiters just North of the airport.

Conditions were 4’ to 5’ waves about 20kts on a 8 m kite. I have spent about 12 hours foiling in similar conditions during the last week. I had been practicing toeside riding and gybes prior to getting hurt. However, when the injury occurred I was simply water starting nothing I haven’t done before ...

Recently I was injured by a blow to the face. It was after a water start. Either the board or part of the foil flew into my face and resulted in 10 stitches to the upper lip and inside the mouth. It happened so fast I couldn’t react. I was kinda knocked silly and it took a while to reorient myself a...

I use billabong furnace ultra 7 mm down to freezing temps. They fit better than dryloc, are very comfortable and do not feel bulky. The ankle pulls are holding up after a couple seasons.
