Kite Surfing Basics
For those who love water sports kite surfing is the newest craze. This exciting new sport takes practice and experience with flying a kite. For those without kite flying experience no problem. One should simply start by flying a kite on land to get the hang of it. Then simply take the kite into the water. The kite will drag the body around a bit giving whoever is holding onto the kite a real feel for the movement. The final step is for the kite surfer to get harnessed get onto his or her board while holding onto the kite. The drag will pull the surfer around the body of water. Plenty of practice is needed to navigate while standing up holding the kite but that is all part of the fun.
