Kite lessons

Out of the blue I got a call from Pedro saying he has a student for me one day! And this was before I’d even met Pedro so he had yet to provide the gear for lessons. So he offered me 70% to use my own gear. We got one lesson out of that, before the weather weakened for a few days and the guy had to head back home to Lisboa.

The only other lesson so far has been to a Dutch guy who Pedro and I let slip past due to communication problems (he was on the road and I don’t get regular internet access). But I picked him up through the competition, so it was meant to be.

3 lessons in three days proved to be the easiest teaching experience I’ve had to date. Good reliable winds was the secret, but the guy also did very well also, I must admit. So there’s my first IKO Level 1 graduate for this summer.

I’ve got a pair booked at the end of the month, and hopefully things pick up after that…
