Okay, so yesterday I took kite out for its maiden voyage. All I can say is if you get into this sport, WORKOUT first. Luckly, I try to workout, but I can tell i need some more muscles. It was quite simple to get the kite up and flying, but when you get one of those great Oklahoma wind gusts be ready. I only got one gust that I really got scared on. Picked me up about a foot in the air and "flew" me about 3 ft. I was alot of fun thought. I highly recommend watching videos on youtube, or buying them. They are a great help, my personal fav is "boost." Well hopefully next week i'll be up on the board.
