^^ has anyone tried it ^^. Im thinking about getting a chute, the learners packages start at about $70 for a chute and harness and all the stuff and i already have the skis of course. Seems like a good idea since NJ has more open fields than hills.

Well first off you're whole notion of using a parachute won't work, you need to get a kiteboarding kite which are much more than $70. But I havent tried it, never had the desire to I'll either kite or I'll ski. but if you want to get into kiteboarding and are in NJ i would reccomend Island surf and sail they're pretty stoked on kiting (http://www.islandsurf-sail.com/) If you havent kited before get a lesson for sure.

i kite for about 5 years... its really sick, but you should take a course, and buy some legit stuff... 300-600 bucks should give a nice setup. OZONE kites are tha way to go!

any questions just PM me
