Kiteboarding Ecstacy

4/17/2020

Over the course of quarantine I've had time to catch up on my reading.  A particular book was recommended to me last August called Stealing Fire by Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal. The book's overall topic is about the flow state created by ecstasis or a higher sense of self.  Steven and Jamie discuss this  higher perception of self and how we can tap into it with technology, psychology, pharmacology, and neurobiology.   Through out the book kiteboarding is mentioned several times in how it produces moments of ecstasis.  In today's video I wanted to dive deeper into how kiteboarding contributes to creating ecstasis through its four forces Selflessness, Timelessness, Effortlessness, and Richness.  Enjoy and happy kiting everyone!
