One of Kerry's top Surfers gave kitesurfing a go yesterday. Alan O Riordan form
AOR surf baords.
It was a great day for lessons with blue skies and clean wind form the NW.
We started the lesson in the Shop in Castlegergroy and then moved on to the Cut up on the Maherrers.
Daniel was also doing the lessons with us today they both did really really well.
Here are some pics.
Al setting up the 2.5m Ozone Uno trainer kite.
Last safety talk through the bar.
Al full committed and getting ready to take control of the Uno .
The perfect first launch, with daniel holding the kite ready to go. Sorry but the bloody Battery died. I can tell you that both guys took to water and had great fun getting draged around by the kite. We also moved up to a 6m Catalyst. Lets just say they are not kitesurfer s yet. But the first board starts are not far away.
But i did manage to get a shot of the sun set.

Good time, too bad the wind was a little unruly. Hope we can do another event this winter! Was out a Hamburg yesterday, good ice and pretty snow covered, just need some wind.
