At first, as a beginner, I was talked out of learning/practicing kiteboarding on the grass due to the possibility of injury.
Also, there are not many spots around Seattle area to practice landboarding. The best places to try lanboarding are Ocean Shores and Long Beach, both have consistent winds, and miles of packed smooth sand.
Recently, I was invited to Chambers Bay in Tacoma to give landboarding a try.
I couldn't believe Tacoma had something that beautiful ! Once the site of a quarry and cement plant, Chambers Bay has been artfully restored to create a pleasant park and Scottish links style golf course. The park also offers beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and nearby islands.
Though already a popular beach among kitesurfers, only a few people come here to fly their kites on a mountain board.
Unlike what I was told before, landboarding was easier, safer, and thus, more enjoyable to learn comparing to kiteboarding/kitesurfing in the water.
