You mean like this....
This is Kiteboarding - YouTube
Yep it's great. Can be a bit of a hassle with waiting for a weather window, needing wind speed & direction right but great fun.
I would reccomend getting a few lesson though. I'm happy to try most things, but I'd put kiting up there with skydiving in terms of being a pretty easy way to waste yourself if you don't know what you're doing.
Just dont do it -guns are safer
Extreme Kitesurfing Accidents - Frightening - YouTube
It was nice knowing you Georgetown
Dont do it myself but its real popular in Nelson off Tahunanui beach. They actually fought to keep jetskis allowed in there area:thumbsup:(from what I understand) as it was a ski that rescued them most of the time as its the skis that are out in shit weather(kite weather)
As far as I know there has only been one fatality in Nelson involving a kite. Boulder bank I think.
As with any "extreme" sport it would be about Knowing your limits and expanding them slowly.
That was Ruben.Nice bloke ,very good photographer as well.He was on the land based varity.Quote:
