Wow, Toby! You and my babe were once beginners... Hard to believe. Somehow the pics feel timeless, classic. Thanks for this bit of joy. It's good to remember the not so humble beginnings. BTW, the old kites look prettier than the colorful mess we got today. Beijos

Same here don't have anything much pre 2002 as my wife had a love hate relationship with me kiting so only got the odd photo.
This was New Year 2002/2003 Cabarete DR on my New Cabrinha CO2 Dart which the black tip preceded and before that I think the C111.

Me rigging up my first kite. Naish Aero 12m2. 2002. Upgraded with an X3 the year after and learned to boost properly. That was a nice kite with seven struts :thumb: Octo-pump....

Image

Following year expanded with a Naish Aero II 16 m2. Really loved that one!

Image

The famous x3 :lol:
