Kite Surfing Kara

Kara wanted to take kite surfing lessons in D.R. Ben met a guy from Italy who offered to teach her. She opted to do the private lessons instead of group lessons. 

There was a fair amount of learning and practicing for the first few days. Her instructor said usually a week of lessons is barely enough to get someone in the water to try, but Kara was out there giving it a go by the second lesson. He said that she was picking it up so fast, and thought it was because of her age. Usually he's teaching middle aged ladies that are more nervous to try. 

There were so many kites there. I still can't believe that they weren't all getting tangled together. 

Evie came along for the first lesson, but couldn't really play much, due to all the kites. 

Dealing with the kite seemed like a pain in the butt all by itself.

I was a little surprised that she wasn't more hesitant. Maybe she was being brave in front of her instructor. But she really did just catch right on. 

The last lesson was pretty windy, and it was harder for her to control the kite, but she just stayed out there and kept trying. 

She had so much fun doing this, and wants to try again the next time she has an opportunity.
