Unraveling an Aruban Mystery

Sorry to have missed the big reunion and all the excitement in Charlottsville! I'm so excited for you and the rest of the team Kyla! Mike & I just got back from Aruba. As Dad suggested, we did not try to solve any mysteries except one... The mystery of Kite Surfing. I have unraveled this mystery enough to know I can now circumnavigate the globe if I go left only. Mike swears he has no balance where board sports are concerned, therefore no regular surfing, skateboarding or kite surfing. This does not seem to stop him from being my own personal resident kite expert. He has sat through enough of my lessons to know what I'm doing wrong but couldn't do it himself if he had to. It really is big fun but it's a bruising sport to learn. This time, only one bruise and a stubbed toe to show for my hours of hard work. I must really be on a role. Still no pictures as I'm too far out to see (up to 1 1/2 miles) so you'll just have to take my word for it.

Welcome home, that kite boarding thing sounds like fun, I watched some guys down in NC one time and thought at the time it looked like another good way to bust your ass, and it sounds like you are prooving that theory out.

Kite boarding is one more of those things that I can do really well in my head.
