I love the fact that people think this is an extreme sport. Yeah, so extreme that you can ride 8 hours straight without even getting tired!
It's easy to make it extreme (riding unhooked, riding in 25+, etc) but in light wind it's about as dangerous as golf and the only muscle you need is your sphincter to hold that mis-timed bowel movement in.
But don't cross lines in 9-10mph winds 50 yards from shore or the kite police will get you!
