1. Know and follow the recommended wind range for your kite. You can find this stuff in your user manual or by googling online in short order. Always seek the best Pro instruction that you can find. Learning on your own can be far more costly and painful.
2. See what are guys are flying of similar experience levels if possible and how they are doing with it. Listen and carefully consider well intended advice.
3. Don't fly a full sized traction kite on land for any longer than it takes to get offshore. That is what smaller trainer kites are for, don't confuse the two.
4. If you are just starting out, winds in the 10 to 15 kt. range may be about right ideally. Much more than that and you may find some trouble that you can live without.
5. DO NOT over extend your abilities, try to be as honest with yourself as you can.
Otherwise ...
you might as well take a running start at those speeding cars on the freeway. It makes as much sense.
