Kiteboarding may be the next big thing
While the weather disappointed some Islanders and visitors, especially earlier this summer, some folks made the most of the occasionally foul weather.
EDGARTOWN - This would be my inaugural jumping lesson in the extreme water sport of kiteboarding, where it is not uncommon for the wind to launch speeding riders three stories high. At the moment I was having a teensy weensy commitment issue.
