These stories are scary but I guess when you play with fire sometimes you get burned...
Im just getting started in kiteboarding and am looking forward to some decent air... but nothing near 800ft!

Unfortunately, most are from the Internet in the resolution shown. I do have higher res. originals of the one show with the credit to the FKA along with some other related shots.

It is little different to other weather dependent activities, like flying or ski mountaineering. If you are indifferent to the weather you may get spanked badly. Historically all too many kiteboarders and guys in those other activities were indifferent as well. Lots of accidents ensued.

More about riding and working to avoid these sorts of hazards appear under the first listed topics and below at:
