Default Question for the instructors

Hey,

When teaching body dragging do you only teach without the board?

My point is that I have noticed several kiters learning on their own and getting into blown into rocks and people in the water. When I was learning and I got into trouble or the wind was light and I needed to get upwind and away from danger I would bring the kite to 12 take my board off and stick it out in front of me and body drag out of danger. It may not be a cool move; however, if you are in a tight spot it can get you out of trouble.
