In fact up until about two weeks ago i didn't even know this sport even exsisted. But from the moment i saw it i was like a moth to a flame and knew i had to try it. As i said in the title i have alot of questions. My first question concerns me the most, Ive spent some time on youtube watching, and occasionally a guy will fly away in a big gust. How do you prevent this from happening,and if you cant prevent it how do you bring yourself down? ben944 Since 04 Jun 2010 51 Posts   Fri Jun 04, 10 7:20 pm     Ok at least 14 people have read this, and i know it sucks helpin the new guy, and you probabley want to tell me to go get lessons. But i have never been that kind of guy.iI like to just jump right in. sooooo please? $ociopath Since 28 Nov 2007 523 Posts Twilight Zone Addicted Fri Jun 04, 10 7:24 pm     http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-17769.html ben944 Since 04 Jun 2010 51 Posts   Fri Jun 04, 10 7:25 pm     Ok now its up to 28.

I think I will grab some popcorn. Chooch Since 18 Nov 2007 1871 Posts Wicked Pissah Boston Tea Bagger Fri Jun 04, 10 7:28 pm     If you have simple questions like this then you NEED LESSONS! This isn't the type of sport you can learn by watching you tube videos and getting free tips from forums. Gear changes quite often and even 2-3 year old instructional videos can be out of date and filled with incorrect info. Best part of taking lessons is you get professional advice, waverunner support, and trashing the schools gear insted of your new $1800 kite.
