I just learned to surf. I am pretty good at it. I could have done it without this guide I just bought. I really suggest you take a look at it: Click Here.

@MsAmber626 They are attached directly to the kite with a harness around the waist. You can see very clear in the first video clip. Some surfers ride ‘un-hooked’ to better do tricks and spins, then they only attached to the kite via a small line to prevent the kite from flying away.

this may seem like a silly question, but i know nothing about the sport… Why can’t they just let go of the kite before they get pulled?

why can’t they just release the kite before they get dragged into the air?

The more stupid they are, the fewer the protection precautions, … ,
Kitesurfers migth also ruin it for the other kiting disciplines, .., In belgium they are setting up restrictive legislations because some dudes got themselves killed in 2010. ( possible max 23 knot wind limit, and limits on the locations)

untill end of 2010 there were no restrictions, … , I hope it does not fly over to Kitebuggy or MTB -

Most of these accidents happened because of stupid thinking; like using a way to large kite in such strong winds. Try not to push limits while kiting, just enjoy the sport as it is or it might just end up bad!
