Re: newbie from ohio looking for advice

take lessons from a reputable, certified level two instructor (unfortunately there are too many sketchy certified instructors out there, sad but true). take lessons in waist deep water if you can ... you can learn in deep water, but much more of a challenge ... make sure you're taught how to rig a k...

Re: Airush support sucks!

(i'm sure osprey and ai...

Re: Self land in water

your method is correct, only i secure the kite on the beach first, then walk out to my control bar ... much easier to wrap up lines with two hands and less chance of an accident if your kite slips from your grip. unless your conditions are such that the lines/bar may snag on the bottom, 9.7 times ou...

Re: Self land in water
