It's a really exhilarating sensation to be pulled by this invisible force of this atmosphere moving around you. Like if you've ever flown a kite, and it's maybe like a little mini version of that, and you feel that tug of the kite string. But this is a big enough tug that it can, on a slippery surface, like on snow with skis, it'll pull you across the snow.

And so there's this moment of acceleration when the wind first catches the kite. And then there's an awful lot of interactivity where there's a handlebar that's used almost like, you know, marionette strings where the kite's very maneuverable, where you can steer it side to side.

And so the skill set or part of the skill set is around this attention to where the wind is in relation to your body and in relation to the kite.

Yeah, it absolutely is that.

There is an element of surrender to it. Like I do a lot of river paddling and river activities have a lot of that where you're like moving with the current and you can learn to You can learn to read it and use it and navigate through it, but ultimately it's kind of this collaboration between the person who's paddling, the person in the water, and then the river itself.

And the river itself is this enormously powerful kinetic force that is fun to interact with, and it's also really humbling in a way that There often feels like a spiritual element of like being interacting with a force that's a large and powerful thing that maybe I don't have awareness of in my normal day to day.

I was 32 years old. It was my last week of being 32. Uh-huh. The day that I had my spine was fused was my 33rd birthday.

Yeah, exactly. It was like late springtime in the southern hemisphere.
