The basics are the same. Point downwind to get going and then trim / travel cross wind.
Keep tension on your lines. That means not taking off downwind too fast etc..
Make small motions and don't dive the kite too deep if you have decent wind. Better to not get moving and still have the kite up to bring around and
try again than crash.

+1 for the Tutorial from Coastal, I printed it out and read it over and over when I was first learning to buggy. Be prepared for that persistent grin
that comes with a great session in the bug! :roll:John Holgate - 12-9-2012 at 02:37 PM

I have heard a large number of people say they have done exactly the same thing.
When I started I got a ( kitesurf ) training video and watched it until it ran in my head. I am far more visual in learning and it was great !
Yes. Warn family and friends ahead. You are not on some happy pills, the feeling just lasts !!!! :wee:jantie - 23-9-2012 at 12:00 PM
