No haven't got that far yet. Fancy a go at the boards and buggies at some point. I'm just starting out. Got a stunt kite a month ago and enjoyed that so much I bought a beginner's power kite - Snapshot 1.2.

hehe. its quite addictive when you get going. i started with one kite and within 6 months i had 4, with a board, helmet, harness etc.

Did you get any tuition or did you just give it a go? I fancy the land boarding. Not so much for the jumps - but just to whizz along a big empty beach.

no tution for me. get used to the way the kite pulls first and then stand on your board and see how and in which direction it pulls you. becomes pretty clear quite quickly what you need to do with the kite and board. not dangerous as long as you arent flying in stupid winds. depending on what kite you have you probably wont get air. have a look at racekites.com which is a good source for power kite related info and help. nice people on there.
