My attempts at kitesufing involved wading out from shore to get space between me and it (onshore slightly cross wind), trying a couple of starts,
maybe riding for a few meters, wiping out then wading back out again.
... I can believe the people who say they lost a ton of weight kite surfing  all
that walking around :D
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

out of all the board ive strapped to my feet, snowkiting must have been the easiest one to pick up. its more about kite control and this guy looks
like he needs abit of practise!!!
