Where did you grow up? I grew up in JHB but moved to CT a couple of years ago. I was amazed by all the kiters each time I came to CT on holiday. I knew I'd do it one day! When I moved - that was that!! I took up kiting straight away and it was the best decision!
Interested in.. Kitesurfing, hiking, fishing - the great outdoors.

Why kite/surfing? I mean .. what else is there really? :)
