Hi there, I'm a total newbie to to kitesurfing.
I'm about to have my first lesson in a few weeks time. I have a board, kite and just need to get a harness then I'm all set.
I did attempt to fly my kite in relatively slight winds....however this resulted in me getting lifted off my feet about 2.5 metres in the air and then dragged along the ground for 50 metres on my back.
I credit myself that I managed to hold on to the bar the entire time!
Has anyone else had any other similar incidents with power kites?
