Barto Loco
Yeah this guy here came from all over. Born in Poland when 13
came to the US. Lived in Chicago till I was 18. Joined the Army.
Lived in Hawaii for 3 Years. joined the Coast Guard. Lived in
Long Beach Washington for a year. (that's where I picked up
Kiteboarding). Went to Virginia for school. Came to LA, and
been here since. Started Kitboarding about 5 years ago. Started
off on a 2 line Naish R3. If you remember that one, you are
really old school. Learned on a Mountain Board first, in the
Pacific Northwest. Never flown a kite in my life, and I set
this one up trailing edge down in 15 mph winds. Hooked in and
lounched about 20 ft in the air. After that I went got a video,
watched it 5 times and tried it again. Got up on the board a
couple of times but nothing spectacular. The mountain board
was awesome there. Flat beaches, hard packed send for miles.
When I came to LA that's when I started riding seriously on
the water.
