actually if you ride directly at the kite at the same speed as the is blowing the kite, then there is about 0 pull from it...
You can't . The kite will fall straight out of the sky if you try and ride directly at it.

True wave Riding can easily be accomplished with pull from the kite , albeit the process is easier in side-off conditions like on the US west coast than in onshore like over here

Your best compromise will be a small surfboard like ride and sideshore conditions like the east coast on a N wind >>>>> The boards they ride in the waves over there ARE 5'5" size small surfboards
