If on the last entry on our blog -in spanish language- we could witness Harald struggles and final success, now it is time to dedicate some lines to her lovely daughter, Lilly. Kite school for girls in Alcudia Mallorca.
Lilly started the kite lessons at the same time than her father did
and evidently had much fun with it
even sometimes, helping other “shorter” students on their practices
to the point that this little people were able to fly
an soon, after all this happy moments, it was clear that Lilli was ready to try higher tasks
the always thrilling and highly awaited board positioning and waterstart
therefore, various kiteclub members also gathered to assist in those delicate moments
with the only hope to witness the unavoidable success, and, how else? … to learn from the “young bird natural skills”
and … off she went, up from the waters, almost effortlessly …
in the barely insignificant 8 kts of wind
that even made the left tip of her kite caress the water … just for a couple of seconds … which was not an obstacle for Lilli to recover control of the kite and keep steering it forward
and continue with the first successful kitesurfing ride of her life
and keep moving forward until the point in which she decided it was time perhaps to try to return to the starting point
That father such daughter, said the saying … though in our case we could well change the order of the words as Lilli succeeded “a little much earlier” than her father 🙂
and here a closer pic of our dear brand new kite lady
Congrats my dear friend!
