You may need to change your approach, don't push it at all.. I'm a bit pushy with my kid on soccer and she is not liking it.. watching kiting from the beach is good for 5 minutes then it gets boring.. and unless youre somewhere tropical it gets cold (this is a big problem).. when I take my kid, I promise to take her on the board and she is stoked about it. It's my wife that more the issue because she won't come and she won't have the kids sitting around on the beach.juandesooka wrote:awesome! great day for the little dude.
I'd be so stoked if I could get my daughters to try, but I can't even get them to come to the beach to watch...no interest. My wife surfs, but is scared to try kiting....our conversation today: "if this 9 year old can do it, so can you!". But no go....ah well, remains a solo pursuit.
Yeah, binderdundat....already blew it with trying to get the girls surfing when younger, pushed them in too early ... was all good until they got that ice water head dunking, then all of a sudden that super day wasn't so super any more.polarstorm wrote: You may need to change your approach, don't push it at all..

seems to have any interest in kiting, I can barely get them to go with me. You must be a pretty proud Dad, good for you man!
