Launching and Landing kiteboarding

Launching and landing a kiteboarding kite is tricky at first. Maybe possibly intimidating. The key thing to know is that once in contact with the kite, you need to be in control. Working together with the rider with clear verbal communication is key to success. Sometime the rider is in a bad spot, sometime you are in a bad spot. Be patient but if you don't feel comfortable matched up with a particular rider, just ask someone else on the beach to help.
