drew christianson: so today we're out here doing a little kiteboarding. all these kites are inflatable. basically launch them off the beach. once they get in the air, they're being powered only by the wind. so there's no motors, purely just the wind pulling you along. johnny bananas: is kite boarding one of the more popular sports in st. pete-clearwater? for sure. the sport's grown a ton in our area, because we have so many protected flats. so have tons of shallow water. makes just learning super easy. so what you're saying is, if you're into kiteboarding, or if you want to learn how to kiteboard, st. pete-clearwater is the place to go. - yeah. i own a kite school right here. i used to travel the world competing. i've seen it. this is the spot you want to come. johnny bananas: what's to prevent me from flying, like, all the way to, like, saratoga? drew christianson: the gears progressive a lot, so all you've got to do is let go. let go. easy. easy. whoo! [shouting] johnny bananas (voiceover): it's magic hour-- perfect time to explore, make some new friend
