A Typical Day at Camp
Wake up, see a beautiful sunrise from my bed. Check out the wind while enjoying my coffee. Yes, winds up. Finish that coffee and pump up the kite!
2 hours later: I’m buggered. Time for a rest. Hmmmm, what do I smell? The big breakfast is ready! Bacon, eggs, sausage, toast, topped with a freshly made juice. That will get me going again. Do you think I would burp too much while attempting a back roll right after having eaten so much? Maybe better digest for half an hour.
On the water again. How nice to have so much space to practise new tricks (and crashes) without getting in the way of the other guests. Tide is getting a bit low. I need a break anyway. Also lunch is ready. Spicy beef salad. Yummy! I’m ready for an afternoon nap.
All right, energy back so let’s go again. Yes!!! My jumps are definitely getting higher. Still need to work on those landings. How cool, kiting at sunset! Well, that’s it for the day; my muscles need a nice hot shower. Maybe have a massage?
Aaaah, a few nibbles and a cold drink before dinner. I could eat a horse, so that roast is welcome. Chatting to the others and getting a few tips for landing. Will dream about it tonight and test it out tomorrow.
