It's worth a trip to the Outer Banks just to watch these guys in action
on the dunes. I've watched several beginners get instruction there.
I think the instructors are real pros and the students have got a lot
of guts. I saw one young woman on her first flight flip over about
20 feet off the ground and landed on her back. Took three people to lift
her out of the kite. she hauled it back up the dune and jumped right
into it again. Not me!
