Downwind Paddling

Another new watersports for the boys today. We rented a big standup board in the morning and Drove up tp Maliko Bay where many paddlers and racers start the downwinder run.
it is about 9 miles ( maybe 8?) from Maliko to Kitebeach but with a help of wind, you get to cruise with pretty fast speed , unless of course you fall a lot.

At first they were falling a lot but latter half of the run they seemed to get the grip and had time to enjoy the views and turtles around us.They both seemed to enjoy that run and sounded like they would wanted to do it again when it was rougher and windier ( maybe it wasn't scary enough for them)

They managed to kite a bit afterwards and had another full day with Ocean.

I am still a bit hesitant to go full force becaue of my back and cannot wait to go dowinwinder every day and excercise.
