Da Sport (1)
With all these awesome beaches, time for some activity (you didn't think I would lie in the sun all day, did ya?).
I figured I could as well learn the newest hip trend sport while I'm there: kite surfing.
The part about it being fairly new has the advantage of there being many beginners (so I'm not the only one looking stupid) and besides, it's a lot of fun.
And you get to wear a wetsuit, which makes you look really sportive and sexy even though you have no muscles and first signs of a beer-belly (that's why chicks dig all these surfer dudes, I tell ya).
The way it's supposed to work is that you fly this big steerable kite and it's hooked up to your harness and pulls you while you surf on a board.
Since it's a big kite, it pulls quite a lot. Imagine a guy being dragged by two horses that have gotten loose and gone wild, like in these old western movies. That's about how the kite feels like when you fly it into the heart of it's power zone.
Ok, I admit I've never been dragged along by two horses, so I can't tell how strong that is. But the kite is strong. Like really strong.
Like it will easily drag you through the sand, you can "surf" on your feet on the beach.
Ok, let's get into the water.
