In fact, despite of the adrenaline rush kitesurfing can offer, it can also be a very dangerous sport. For one thing, safety equipment always includes a parachute knife. This is used for cutting the fly lines in case of an emergency. Another risk is overly gusty conditions, winds that exceed a boarder's experience and tides and currents that are not visible put kiters at risk, not only for beginners but also for adventurous advanced boarders.

"A friend of mine lost a little finger in a kiteboarding accident," said Danny, "he was in the water but did not operate the line correctly. The kite relaunched and the lines pulled his finger off."

Danny said despite the accident, his friend did not give up kitesurfing, which shows just how attractive the sport is.

"It is no more dangerous than any other sport as long as you master the technical knowledge and physical skills, maintain your equipment and follow safety precautions. It is easy and anyone can do it, with the right wind, you can ride in the air all the time."
