im glad it is …. :S i love the sport .. dont want to change my mind … ive seen really bad things though … once a guy in egypt (el gouna) had done a jump .. couldnt control it … so he ended up landing on the beach on his back instead of on the water… dangerous sport … but thats the exciting thing :S

Happened to me last month in Goa. The monsoon winds were really rough and the kite just pulled me. Dragged me for around 20 meters but I finally managed to let it go.
Scary.

Remind to me always wear the safety.
