Kite Flying - Body Dragging

February 4th, 2007 Submitted by: Adrian

Saw an episode of “Trippin” on 8TV tonight and it was regarding Kite Fying… Now how difficult that can be? Well… it’s an extreme sport and it is tough! I once saw a foreigner along a beach in Bali doing body dragging. It was aggressive… and the wind was just dragging the poor fella around like a drag doll. Read up quite a little on it from the internet and found out its a serious sport in itself and not child’s play like the little kits and “WAUs” that we, the general public, are all too familiar with. The ability of today’s kite to catch wind and literally pull you upwards sounds a little too daunting for me.

Wind comes, you lift off,…. Wind goes, you figure…..

I wouldn’t mind trying out this sport one fine day. After all… I have interest in anything that takes flight!
