Being a keen surfer I took a 2 hour kiteboarding lesson while I was on holidays a few years ago, I couldn't lift my arms for a week.

Out here we call it kiteboarding.  Do not try it without good instruction.

I took a couple of lessons and bought my own kite.
We went to Mexico and I could't move for three days after. It is a workout and a half until you get the hang of it.

A kid in sandiego where I go borrowed a friends kite with no instruction and a gust of wind drug him Through the air over two lanes of highway and put him in a 80 ft palm tree.

These are 7,8,9, meter kites mine lifted me 20 ft out of the water with a gust of wind. Scared. The hell out of me
