Dear posters,
Having 15 years windsurfing and 6 years snowboarding experience, I learned to kitesurf in a couple of hours with an 2001 AB 8.4 (I mean I can come back where I started).
Now the owner of the kite would sell it for $260 (kite in good condition, only 2 small mylar delaminations on the leading edge). I found the kite quite easy to handle, but I read everywhere that this kite is for advanced riders only. Could somebody advise me about the risks of using this type of kite to learn jumping and transitions?
