| Hello fellow kite girls....
I'm excited to announce that the air Club for Girls is now officially open for members!
When I first laid my eyes on kiteboarding, I was entranced and tried flying a trainer. With my second encounter flying a large inflatable kite, I seriously doubted myself. By my third try, I was hooked beyond belief. It's been almost 6 years since that day! Every session I fly across the water has something new to offer me, whether I'm simply getting thairapy, gaining confidence, learning new moves, or becoming a safer rider. Kiteboarding keeps me learning and I love it!
It's called kiteboarding; cost about 2 grand; And yes, it's hard as f*#k -local Charleston kiter, Joe Gillispee.
Kiteboarding is one of the most incredible sports I've ever practiced. Don't be fooled....you will have some hard work in learning it. BUT,it's totally worth it, just ask Joe. During the last couple of years I have seen many women begin the learning process only to leave because of frustration or lack of support. The air Club for Girls is a place of support and connection for women wishing to be a part of kiteboarding. Please accept this as my personal invitation to join the group!
Here's what you'll get....
Cost: Free! Except for meals and drink when it's not windy.
What you'll need: Your own gear, a good attitude, and determination.
What will we do: Ride and share tips. If it's not windy we'll choose a favorite hang/dine spot and chat about kiting or other various girly stuff.
Examples of club candidates might be:
I haven't taken lessons yet, but want to check out the sport, meet others,and gather information before I take lessons.
I have finished a lesson program and I'm ready for some moral and mental support.
I want to expand my kiting horizons.
I am riding proficiently, but I want to make some connections, have some friendly competition, and pass along tips and knowledge to those starting out.
I'm ready to start do'in downies...!
Meeting Times:
Will vary based on tides and conditions. Sign up for our newsletter or find us on facebook to see our next meet times.
This club is for girls and is about everyone who joins! Please understand, while we'll do what we can to support others, the club is not a substitute for lessons.
Sooooo.... who's in?
