As a 14 year windsurfer and a 4 month kitesurfer, I would tell all you
wannabees that kiting is one of the most difficult sports ever invented. I
do not reccomeend any of you taking up this dangerous undertaking. Please
wait at least 5 or 10 years till they finally figure out the safest way to
learn. Your life may depend on it.----- Original Message -----
