Another gust came through and hit the kite and pulled it out of my hands because I hadn't really connected it yet and shockloaded the system.

The line broke.

So there goes the kite.

But because the gust was so strong, the kite actually rolled downwind up over the dam.

And then so I swam to shore and had to go retrieve the kite with tail

between my legs embarrassed that you know I couldn't kite back to shore where we started.

I was going to get a lot. This is the adventure sports podcast.

Get out there and have some fun.

Welcome back to another episode of the Adventure Sports podcast.

We've previously had Eric Bader on from the Boulder Outdoor Center, and last time he was on, he talked to us about river rafting.

That was a great interview.

I appreciate it.

So, Eric, welcome back.

Thank you, Travis.

All right.

So today we're here to talk about kiteboarding. Now, this is one thing that I'm pretty excited to hear about because I see these guys out there doing it and it looks like a true blast. And I'm hoping that you're going to tell me some awesome stuff that makes me want to go out there and try it.

Oh, kiteboarding is a fantastic sport. The only tough part about kiteboarding is it is a little difficult to get started in the sport and break in and get through the learning curve.

But once you do, it's such a great combination of different things.

It takes fun to a whole new level.

Yeah, it looks fun.

It looks like a lot of exercise.
