Kiteboarding & Cycling
// August 17th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // sports

I’ve spent another great weekend outdoors doing fun things like kiteboarding yesterday at Oliphant and cycling down Leslie Spit today. Above is a photo of Allen who now gets up on his board kiting! Although, he was underpowered on my 9 metre and says that next time when the winds are the same, he’ll go on his 15. Actually I was underpowered on the 9 yesterday too. We need to buy a 12 metre soon and use the 9 on windier days.
I was kiting as well, although since Allen’s board was out on the water, it was the one I used. His board is awesome, but WAY too large for me. I found the stance really wide and that made kiting right (my weaker direction) difficult. I got going on my left fine though. Next time, I’ll be sure to drag my board out too.
Our friend Natalie also made the trip up to Oliphant with us. She took some photos, flew the trainer kite on land and generally had a good time.
Today I wanted to bike back out to Leslie Spit as I really enjoyed the ride out there last weekend. This time I rode out to the lighthouse and got some photos looking back at the Toronto skyline. I took this photo from there (but on my iPhone, so the quality isn’t as good.) Still, check out this view:
