I have been around these guys launching, landing, listening since last August. I took my lessons in October with Bryan Eagle who did a great job I might add although all of our local instructors are VERY competent and had a hard time with my water start. I would get up on plane and riding about once a session and would be frustrated for the rest of the time, not knowing what 'the trick' was. I finally figured out that I was not edging against the kite and keeping the lines tight to shoot it back up through the power zone after my initial dive, then come off my edge when I dive the kite again until I was sufficiently powered up. That was just my thing, but about a month ago with a lot of support from all of these guys and after a lot of failure, I finally got it...we also didn't have the best/cleanest wind this winter which didn't help and it seemed as though every time I was out of town, it decided to blow!!! Give me a call if you want to chat Z, 941-284-0477.
