The best ride of my first lesson lasted just a few seconds, but I think I'll remember that feeling for a long time. And some students struggle, as I did, before kite, board and rider come together in a rush. Some students, especially those with wakeboarding skills, take right to the sport. Instructors keep various size kites on hand depending on the student's weight, fitness level and wind strength to allow everyone to learn and progress safely. It's not for the weak of nerve or faint of heart. There's more risk, both to yourself and the people around you. You need less wind, which is good, but more room to maneuver, which is bad. Kiteboarding in Florida is much bigger and badder than traditional windsurfing, which seems tame by comparison. On the water, this eye-opening force will send you skimming across the surface or, in my case, slam-dunk you repeatedly. Kitesurfing in Florida is much bigger and badder than traditional windsurfing, which seems tame by comparison.Įven the world's worst kiteboarders - clumsy students like me who can barely stand on a board, much less handle a kite - immediately grasp the power of this extreme sport. From the first minute of your first lesson, you can feel it in your hands and in the pit of your stomach, as the huge sail of a stunt kite threatens to lift you off the ground and drag you down the beach.
