But that was unlikely to happen if I kept the fly in command, said Talikov.

The key is to have it close to the 12 o’clock position, or almost immediately below, by making small, simple changes with the grip.

It felt like I had to learn how to compromise a bicycle as I gradually grew to grips with the kite. &nbsp,

This is n’t too difficult, I thought. &nbsp,

CHANGES OUT ON THE WATER ARE PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING.

I had to dip into the ocean before it was too late.

There was simply no way for a first-timer to get on a board and ride the waves, so Talikov made the decision to not use a metal table or even a surfboard.

I would instead be able to feel the sail pull me, while wearing a life jacket, helmet, and Talikov near by. &nbsp,

I was soon aware of how it felt to ride a bicycle, but it felt like it was done while you were staring directly at the sun and experiencing salt splashing your eyes, and as if you were waddling and thrashing around in the water.
