Enroll to a kitesurfing courses (Kitekurs)-it is because it is not a game where you can just dive into. You need special knowledge for you to enjoy kitesurfing. Kitesurfing expertise and knowledge is a must to implement the safety procedures for the sportsman and the people around him. I know the answer to the riddle on where can you attain the best kitesurfing knowledge.
If you are blessed and live near a beach, you can encounter kitesurfing training houses that can give you precious advises and proper know how. This is a very good intro and lessens the possibility of a bad kitesurfing accident. An important reminder, It is best to get knowledge from a master kitesurfer than an acquaintance who have the possibility to give you wrong kitesurfing tips which he/she can only get away with it.
If there is no kitesurfing school in your vicinity and you consulted a personal teacher be sure that he is equipped to impart knowledge regarding vital points in kitesurfing safety. Don't ever think of crazy ideas that you can learn kitesurfing by yourself.
Purchase the best equipment- a great impact in kiteboarding can be influenced by the gears you get. What I meant is you should try and acquire the best gears possible. Before breaking your credit, try and study on what sort of gears you're going to need.
Why is getting the right equipment so important? You should realize that skills are not enough to propel you over the water, if you do not have a board or a kite. That would be called swimming, not kitesurfing. Getting poor equipment can be very dangerous. You do not want your board collapsing or your kite ripping in the middle of a trick. This can become a very serious accident.
Actually, as the sport has gained popularity, it is also becoming safer for practitioners. Why? This is simply because technology has been developed specifically for the safety of the kite surfer and for the increase in profits of various companies.
Choose the right location – kitesurfing is not a sport that you can just do anywhere. There are guidelines in looking for the proper kitesurfing location. Some locations, for example ban kitesurfing from their beaches . This is because of safety concerns. Make sure that there are only few people in the beach when you want to do kitesurfing. In other words, avoid accidents that can happen by bumping someone.
If you are a novice, don't attempt stunts and try to ride powerful winds that are beyond your skills. Make sure that you practice on tamer locations before you attempt to board in more challenging locales. Ideally, you should make sure that the area you surf in is free of any obstructions such as power lines, rocks, or beaches.
Be informed about the weather-Bear into mind that you will spar with the forces of nature. Respect mother nature. If you're not equipped with the knowledge to handle the winds, or if the weather is wild, don't risk your life for it.
You should check the weather forecasts so you won't find yourself in trouble once you're in the water. Keep in mind: the weather can flip very fast.

Varberg Kitesurf -When You Go Kitesufing Take Note Of These Safety Guidelines
Take a beginners course to learn basic kite surfing safety. Learn to be safe first, so you enjoy yourself later.
Every time you go kite surfing dissolve the chicken loop so you know it works.
Keep in mind to be responsible for yourself and considerate to others. Being responsible is a major part of this great sport.
Attach the ropes to the kite at the last moment before you before start and get into the water.
Place the safety line prior to the kite's hedge when it is on the ground. This is the time to take to the end and secure it after landing. It is always a good idea to use a handfuls of sand to weigh down the kite when not in use.
Think about how the winds can swirl around buildings, trees, or rocks to windward before starting kits.
The purpose of the dead man's safety system is to cut off power to the kite immediately under emergency situations.Know how to detach yourself from your kite under all conditions.
If there is an airport nearby, don't kitesurf.
Do not kite surf before, during, or immediately after a thunderstorm.
Keep in mind, you can always cut your kite cords. Do not let yourself or even get a chance to get tangled up in the kite lines, which do not fly your kite over other people, do not wrap rope around your hand, etc.. Free and open water is the best place to kitesurf , away from densely populated areas on land and sea. Find an empty spot on the beech before you take off, away from other people and other kitesurfers.
Windward is the spot for spectators.
When you start, choose to take off on the water where nobody is around.
Kitesurfing against the wind from the land as you run towards to the open sea is to be avoided. Good kite surfing areas have a rescue boat for emergencies. Also, be sure you can handle the difficult situations that may arise, such as a broken leg or kits to breakage.
Please use the life jacket and helmet.
Never use leg harness attached to the board in which this can be very dangerous because it can cause the board hit the back of the head.
Do not ask non-kite surfers for help when you land or take off kits. Be clear about your intentions and talk to people before you help and making clear signs. Make sure it will help you or the people around know how to handle equipment safely and how to behave kits.
If you are a beginner avoid strong winds.
As a beginner, you usually spend more time in water, so use because a thicker wetsuit than you would otherwise have chosen.
If possible, choose a harness with handles on the back. This makes it easier to assist each other in difficult situations where the kits have much traction.
Keep in mind how far you can swim; this should be your kite surfing distance from the shore.
Remember to bring something to cut the kite ropes if you need to.
