Surfkiting Punta Mita

This area IS kitable. I managed to try out Punta Mita and a beach on the other side of the point called Destiladeras. Pics below. Punta Mita - Waves crashing on rocks in an area with no one kiting made me really nervous. But it was so beautiful and I had my gear, so I had to go out. Adrenaline combined with the beauty of this spot turned nervousness into excitement as soon as I touched the water...


Just to the south on the other side of the peninsula is Destiladeras Beach - a sweeping, wide beach with mild surf and gals on horseback.

Kite Spots along the Mayan Rivera

From kiting snow in a Utah blizzard, to Spain, then the turquoise waters of Mexico, all in 3 weeks. I had a chance to kite several spots along the Mayan Riveria - from Playa del Carmen to the ruins at TULUM, a week ahead of the start of the 2008 PKRA world tour, opening here next week March 5 - 9.

The beaches here are great for kiting when the wind is up and the night life in Playa del Carmen proper is GREAT - my kiting coincided with carnival this past week... (read the rest of this post HERE)
