That is really cool.

Always difficult to say the causality of things - if he is healthy because he kites or if because he is health he can kite - but I hope
I’m as “awake” mentally when I turn 77.

I doubt I will be from all the concussions from kiting and wakeboarding I have had lol. But as long as I can kite I will be hopefully into my 70s.
