You are the one that did a great job flying the kite! You made it look easy and I was impressed with how fast you went after a few runs. Now you just need some more time with the kite and skis learning to handle more power and you will be on a great start for the soft water this spring! Kevin Gratton Hi John,

Thank you for the kind words. You are the one that did a great job flying the kite! You made it look easy and I was impressed with how fast you went after a few runs.

Now you just need some more time with the kite and skis learning to handle more power and you will be on a great start for the soft water this spring!

While my original goal was to learn kiting skills before the soft water season starts, I totally had a great time surfing the snow. Kevin is a very patient instructor who emphasizes safety first. I didn't completely get that at first, but while surfing the internet afterwards I came across some pretty hairy "kite-mare" stories. Then it clicked. The lesson progressed very methodically starting with a trainer kite and working up from there when ready. Kevin was exceedingly generous with his time, and the equipment was top notch. By the end of the lesson I was snow kiting on Lake Winnebago - a real thrill. I highly recommend Kevin as an instructor - you won't be disappointed. And remember, safely first!
