Hi everyone,
Just want to send greetings from South Africa and give a quick introduction about myself.
I have been kiteboarding for just over a year now and love it, but due to working inland I only get to kite when I go away on holiday which is usually to Durban or Cape Town.
Before signing up I'd read most of the posts but I am looking forward to learning even more from everyone here.
Cheers!
Dane.

Welcome Dane!
Don't you have any lakes close to you where the wind blows?

Thanks Toby,
Yes, there are a few, but in the last year, I have only been twice to a lake/dam to kiteboard and the wind has been very gusty, so that's why most of my kiteboarding takes place at the coast.
