My INSANE 1 Year Kitesurf Progression // Beginner to Competition

So, it has been 1 year already since i started kiteboarding. i never knew kiteboarding would have had so much impact on my life. It started out as just loving to watch kiteboarders fly in the craziest conditions. Couple years later i decided i wanted to do it myself as a bucketlist thing. after my lessons and the first time i was able to ride upwind i was immediatly addicted. After that i bought my own set i kited all year to progress. Every time the wind was over 16 knots i would go out. I don't live near any spots so for each session i needed to travel by public transport for 3 + hours. I guess you could say there is a lot of time behind the scenes. Kiteboarding changed my life in a positive i never knew was possible. Starting like everyone els with jus a waterstart to coming in second in a competition is insane to me. i thought i would'nt do so well since it was my first competition and other people in my division have been kiting for years. To me it reaaly showed what could be possible if you have the motivation, passion and dedication to achieve something in life, what can be possible. I've got many more goals i want to achieve within kiteboarding which i hope to reach a couple in this year. dont forget to comment what trick you wnat to see me try next session, out of the top 3 most liked comments ill pick one depending on the conditions.
