It's like those old videos Faces of Death that were around in the 80s. You can't look away.

I haven't managed to hit play for 20mins

I was like that first guy , only in one ft water , facing upwards stuck between the boom and sail. Twisted harness drowning and wondering if there is a God.

everyone crashes when learning stuff.

But really, how's the c0ck at 1:12 - 1:15 ish with a kite at the bottom of the window in onshore conditions. Better it hit the power lines than people. Showoff d1ckhead. No shortage of them it seems

I don't understand why kiteboarders seem to want to boost in the shallows of the waters edge. Is it a "look at me thing" or are they totally mad I only wanted to boost in deep water for obvious reasons.

Yes

Even the kids books are starting to reflect how dangerous kites can be!

Done that. It was quite scary. If you're stuck underneath at a funny angle it's actually really hard to lift the sail up, your can't swim under it, and you're stuck in 1ft of water.

Haven't done it since a beginner though.

I was on top of the sail on my back looking up , under the boom feet pointing to the top of the mast.
