Podcast #107:

Kiteboarding pioneer Paul Menta was one of the first to open a Kite School in North America and was integral to helping establish the first instructional guidelines, lesson programs and handbooks for Wipika’s KISS program (now IKO) and PASA. Based out of Key West, Florida, Paul separated from PASA last year to start a new concept and is our guest on this Thursday’s ASNews.net and The Kiteboarder Magazine podcast interview.

Paul joins us this week to share with you:

-New destination: The Kitehouse Grand Cayman – more than just world-class diving!

-KiteU Online: What it is, how it may help access and why it will help riders of all levels and instructors

-Access: Is it time to start licensing kiteboarders or more official site regulation in the US?

Got a question for Paul about the new Kitehouse or any of the locations in Key West, Miami or Turks/Caicos? What are your thoughts on kiteboarders needing a license or some type of certification? Ask your questions LIVE and REAL TIME on this Thursday’s The Kiteboarder Magazine/ASNews.net live podcast.
