i went to the red bull kite freeze here in minnesota and it looks like a ton of fun. basicly all you need to do is aquire a kid for it (they are different then most parachuting kites, lighter so that the wind picks them up) and get your rigging set and find a place to practice. I got some shots and video up on midwestskier.com if you wana check it out.

i live in Door County in Wisconsin, so it's fucking perfect over here for it. there's a kite shop with a guy that teaches near me, and there are about 15 guys that go out on weekends, it's crazy shit. i would definitely get into it if i had some $$$, it's kinda expensive.

If anyone is interested in kitesurfing/boarding/skiing there are bunch of guys/gals that do it and are active members in a chart area that is more of a forum on www.windancing.com they have lots of knowledge and often sell their stuff for really cheap.

my friend and I split the cost of a 4 meter kite. It's badass. We found a shallow-water beach and had the kite pull us on my skimboard. It is great fun. The only bad thing is the kites are expensive as hell. The one we bought was maybe 4 or 5 hundred. But it is great fun, I was even pulled by the kite accross a town on my skateboard. You should definatly get a 3 or 4 meter for beginners though, because even in 10 m.p.h. winds, it can tug someone who is 150 pounds into the air!
