that happened a fair few times to me, first time it happened i was affriad to fly the kite for months, would set it all up and just stand there without flying it untill the wind dropped lol.. finaly got the courage and got into a buggy and got realy good at it. got a wide axel for it so i could go faster with a bigger kite in higher winds. but just packed it in a few years ago

you need bigger kites than usual.. all different types but as long as its big then you will stay up.

good idea.. just try get involved in a group and make friends who are into the sport and good, free lessons then flying the kite is simple when you get the hang of the power
