gday

i got into bozeman about a month ago from australia and only yesterday heard of kite snowboarding. i windsurf back home and was also considering taking up kite surfing before i ended up here in bozeman. so i am very interested in giving kite snowboarding a go.

is there anyone in the bozeman area that would be interested in giving me a lesson with their equipment? i have a snowboard etc but i dont have a car.

Hey Greg, Welcome to Bozeman.

Hey Greg,
Welcome to Bozeman. Be aware that there is a bit of a learning process in flying traction kites; you need to have control before you jump on a board. There is a local who instructs snow kiting; I don't have his information, but the folks at Barrell Mountainering would be able to point you in the right direction.

Best of luck.

Hey Greg,

If you can't find a trained and insured professional, I can give you a lesson. I'll bring the trainer (3M), you bring your insurance. I am NOT an insured instructer but, I can give you some pointers to help you understand the basics and reduce the chance of you hurting yourself or anyone else.

I live in Helena during the week and Bozeman on the weekends. If you haven't flown a kite before, the first lesson will be all about the trainer kite and safety for you and the people around you. If your interested, hit me up. Jerome 406-600-4664.
