... everyone how dangerous kitesurfing was. In fact his friend said he'd given it up altogether and just kite buggied instead.
2. Everyone knows about getting dragged along the beach and not stopping until you hit something.
3. You can get lifted right up into the air (by freak uplifts). A hundred feet is no exaggeration. The trouble is that the kite is not a parachute so when the air current decides to dump you, you just plummet to the ground. Check out youtube for videos

Kitesurfing looks absolutely fantastic. Id love it I just know I would. I love windsurfing, surfing, in fact all forms of fast thrilling water sports. You could say that I'm a water sport junky. However I've heard so many horror stories about things that can go wrong and have personally witnessed things going wrong that I've finally decided (I think) that I'm going to stay clear of this particular water sport.

The speed increase is incredible and its turning ... Read the complete review
