Knowing to only kite in on-shore winds, how to get yourself to safety in case of an emergency and what kind of conditions of safe to ride in or not.
Fun

The kiting community is massive and the people you meet in one place you can almost be sure you’ll meet them in another- an amazing way to stay connected in the world!
