He guys.

I was out kiting today and almost lost my board upwind of me. Thank god I could get it back but it was a close call. Bodydragging upwind is not as easy in 22 knot winds as I thought.

I am getting very mixed opinions from people. some say it's great for when u are a beginner because you won;t be doing any big jumps yet so it wont whip back at ya.

Some people say not to get it at all cause it can whip at ya no matter what.

Any suggestions anyone?
