Did not mean to say it was easy. Flying a kite requires skill lots of
practice and crew coordination and attention. The helmsman has a very
important job to do. If conditions are too tough to manage it might be wise
to leave the kite in the bag because once it is up there in the wind it
carries a lot of power and can be difficult to control. Practice with your
crew in open water before trying in a congested racing fleet helps a lot.
