ski rixen

[xentrik1]

I went to ski rixen a little while ago thinking it would be a good jump start to learning to kiteboard. Well that thing almost pulled my arms out. I was on a kneeboard, becuase they made me use that. I'm not sure if my arms were just not strong enough or just bad form or what, but I could not get around the first turn. It is a 90 degree angle. Is the pull of the kite as strong as the cable whipping you around like that? It seems it would be more fluid and you have a harness to help out a bit.
