I took my son out for the second session on the wing on Sunday. This time to a smooth tarmac car park at the beach. It was a nice sunny day with about 15 knots of wind – perfect!
He was using my carver skateboard to start with but it was just too fast for him on the smooth tarmac. So he switched to his normal skateboard which has small wheels and is therefore slower. Within a couple of runs he’d mastered it and was even managing to gybe after a few more goes! What a difference a smooth car park and steady wind makes…
He lasted about 20 mins before his attention diminished. But it was definitely progress.
