Now that's one sport that has always had the Looks Too Hard label on it to me.
Plus at my age,I dont think the old back would last too long

My mad mate who will have a good go at anything,started a few years ago,I beleive you start without the board and just learn the kite side first.
Well one day at band camp (Noosa) we went up to the river mouth,the wind was up and he got blown into the rock wall,well that was the end of that
