Default Don't NEED Quality Pro Lessons? Look at this ...

Thinking about kiting but are you uncertain about the need for quality pro instruction? Please read the account at the following link and checkout the video clip below. These events could happen to ANYONE without proper preparation and training. Believe it.

This guy gives the impression of someone trying to figure how to fly one of our Toy Kites on Steroids (TKS) without lessons or probably much useful study either. This incident easily could have been a serious accident perhaps even a fatal one. Riders have been killed, paralyzed and severely injured by lesser lofting/dragging events.

How many rider mistakes can you count in the video clip? I came up with 15 but depending how you count them, you could have more, maybe even less. Good thing our sport is so easy. It's just like flying an airplane, manuvering can be simple. Then again, there's that training, thinking and experience part ... nah, don't need that either. This guy proves it.
