AddAKite Part 4 TAKING IT TO THE WATER
Check in with Matt Smolenski, our favorite newb, as he takes to the water for the first time with his Best TS kite.His progression has been very fast, and I bet he'll be right there with us in the swells this fall. Cheers, Matty! Get stoked! -AJ
In the fourth video of the #AddAKite series, Matt is finally able to get in the water with his 2014 Best TS! On a windy day in Grand Haven, Matt spends some time on the beach flying the kite, then heads to the water for simulated board starts. After building some confidence, Matt grabs his Best Spark and takes a crack at actually riding a board - success! This time, Matt is able to get up and riding for a few short tacks.
