I just got into kiting past few weeks, i live near a very busy kite-surfing beach in New Zealand (Raglan) and after several weekends watching the guys whizzing around on there kites i kind of thought.. "well, i have no desire to get on the water or even any boards yet, BUT hell flying those kites looks fun!" so i figured i would become a static flyer to start with and whilst i slim down from being a big guy!

Welcome!

Get into it, don't be afraid of being a Clydesdale - I'd be willing to bet there are bigger guys than you around
Get your kite skills down with the trainer then get out on the water!
