How to get into Powerkiting?
Although power kiting may come across as an extreme sport, it is very easy to learn if you follow the basic safety rules and have a bit of common sense. Before you go off and get your first kite, it is very important you cosult a specialist first.
There are many online kite shops that you can choose from. however, getting the right one may be a little bit difficult. Here is a check list for you if you want to find the right one:
Do they only sell online or do they have a physical shop?
Do they specialise in power kites or are they selling lots of other stuff that are not kite related?
Do they have a kite field where they can show you how to set yuor kite up and fly?
Do they have qualified kite instructors who know what they are talking about?
My advise is to stay away from auction sites that are selling second hand equipment. When buying
Power Kites you really need to make sure it is in good condition. Talking to a specialist is a step in the right direction.
