| Re: kite surfing
not kite surfing, but I do kite land-boarding.
I'd suggest doing some weights before going to build up your forearms as it hurts like a bastard after a while.
Have you flown a power kite before? If not then I'd find someone who has one and have a play about with it until you get used to it.
It's a dangerous sport tho, I've had some pretty bad knocks just from the kite, it's worse when you have a board under your feet! |
