We were super tired, after 5 hours of kitesurfing you feel all your muscles sore, we were admiring the sea, there was still some wind and at a certain point Ciccio says to me &#8220;how nice it is to kite!&#8221;. I answered him \u201cit&#8217;s the best thing that could have happened to us!\u201d. We looked each other in our faces and we said &#8220;damn we are exhausted, but this kind of tiredness is a good one, it relaxes you, it doesn&#8217;t make you think about anything anymore, both when you are in the kite and after&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a certain point I said to him &#8220;Do you know that for some time I prefer to go out to the sea rather than at the Stagnone?&#8221;, then he stares at me saying &#8220;Giovanni, there&#8217;s no doubt\u2026 the sea is the sea!&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We kept talking a bit more about the topic: those feelings which the sea, the waves and the high water can give to you are unrivalled. The Stagnone Lagoon is very beautiful\u2026 it&#8217;s easy, you learn many tricks, you learn quickly and you are always in maximum safety, but the sea is the sea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Ciccio, the Stagnone is fantastic at first, because you are at the beginning and you have a lot of fun, but after a few years you would naturally like to go out to the sea, you want to jump or surf the waves, enjoying a different feeling of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why he then told me: &#8220;I suggest you to let your pupils learn at the Stagnone but, immediately afterwards, they have to go out to sea, so as to make them feel a different emotion, let them develop their skills in the sea, in order to let them become independent, self-confident and familiar with other conditions&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had been thinking about that for a long time, and when he showed me his thoughts, I smiled at him saying \u201cthat&#8217;s why I created WindBusters!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He smiled back and said to me &#8220;in fact, that&#8217;s why I went crazy when you showed me your project and now that you&#8217;ve done it, I&#8217;m really happy for you!&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a while I saw him looking at the forecast with his phone. I told him: &#8220;how is the weather tomorrow?&#8221; and he replies &#8220;there could be thermal wind again&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you just finished kiting and you are already looking at the forecast? Well yes, my dear! Kitesurfing becomes an addiction, you can&#8217;t live without it anymore! Adrenaline, endorphins and all the rest provoke a sort of addiction, so that you wished to go out kiting as early as the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you join this world you will understand it, it can be explained in words but, like everything else, you have to try it to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aloha WindBuster!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I want to tell you about a nice chat I had with a very dear friend of mine, with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot","category-windbusters"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Talking about Kite with...
