Zen masters and yoga practitioners can do it. But they run a distant second to Sam Pojar.

The British born kiteboarder plans to keep on defying age and has no plans on plonking his weary 62 year old body on the couch.

Whenever there is wind, Pojar drives down from Mudgeeraba to his favourite spot at Miami on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

He has this advice for senior water lovers thinking of swapping the couch, Zimmer frame or bowling ball for a kite: “Just do it, if you want to.’’

“Ease into it and build up confidence.’’

Mr Pojar said he eased into sport at the age of 56 but had surfed for most of his adult life and windsurfed for 15 years.

 “I’m hooked on kite surfing though,’’ he said.

“It is just such an awesome feeling using the power of the kite to glide through the water, especially on a surfboard.

“I love it.

“I am a cruiser not out for a bruising or worse.”

Mr Pojar, who uses a Peter Lyn Bomba, Venom and a Flysurfer, says he has managed to remain injury free and has no problem braving 20 knot winds.

The worst he experiences is the odd sore knee, which usually means he has to be a bit more sensible.

Mr Pojar also has plans for some adventures.

 “Up the Barrier Reef in winter in those clear waters I think would be very nice,’’ he said.
