However, I am testing eyeglasses that the miliatary uses for kiteboarding to prevent eye injuries.
Several kiteboarders have had severe injuries from the bar or a board to the eye. The costs with polarized amber and grey lenses is about $150. The frames are made with a ridge so if the lens is loose it will not penetrate your eye. All other eyeglasses that I have checked are not safe for this reason.

** TAKE LESSONS, kiting cant be learned alone without some serious close calls or carnage. **
** Don't Launch upwind of something you wouldn't wanna smack into ( like a concert wall ) **
1.Don't use a board leash (saw it posted already but have to say it again, I knocked out my front teeth with on on my first day. $1000+ a root canal and I was back kiting.)
2. Check if your launching in a wind shadow, this can be very dangerous.
3. White caps=10knots+, Sand blowing down the beach=25knots+. Get to know your est. wind speeds and direction from your surroundings.
4. Don't try and correct mistakes on land, bust your safety before you get really hurt.
5. Don't jump on the beach no matter how pro you think you are. (Maybe you are pro but some idiot will see it and do it)SECOND VOTE
6. If kiters aren't kiting at certain areas there's probably a reason. Like shallow reef,etc.
7. Know your gear, know how to self rescue on your gear.
8. Smile when your kiting, no one needs kite rage=).
