#1 You must be strong First of all, let me tell you that I am 5?4?, female, I weigh 100 pounds, and I have only been to a gym once in my life. Even though my arm muscle is virtually non-existent, I can still manage to kiteboard hours straight because of the harness worn with kiteboarding. #2 I?m too fat / too tall / too small / too old / too young Many kiteboard stores require you to weigh at least 80 pounds in order to take a lesson. I?ve seen just about every size and shape out there kiteboarding even guys in the 300 pound range. Height doesn?t matter, but if you are a petite rider, consider buying a seat harness rather than a waist harness. This will move the bar closer to your body and put the power/depower strap within better reach. I?ve seen plenty of guys how to write an article in their 60s & 70s kiteboarding. If you have back problems, buy a seat harness rather than a waist harness, and buy a kite that has a lot of depower (bow, SLE, or hybrid kite).#3 Kiteboarding is very dangerous As long as you take the necessary pre-cautions, kiteboarding is relatively safe. I say relatively, because everything in life has risk, even driving your car to the grocery store. However, if you don?t know what you?re doing, things can go bad, very bad. Take a lesson! When in doubt, don?t go out. Never ride by yourself. Don?t kite in storms or other times when the wind isn?t steady and reliable. And again, take a lesson (the more the better)!#4 I don?t need a lesson Just because you?re a pro wakeboarder/snowboarder, etc., doesn?t mean you?re a good kiteboarder.
