Kite surfers are advised to keep all equipment in the car and should never leave wind to find wind.  Kite surfers must always check and double-check gear before it’s windy to be ready at a moments notice.  Since the wind is very unpredictable kite surfers must be aware; it can be gusty, stronger on the outside, building, dropping, changing directions, or be accompanied by rain or lightning.  It is critical to evaluate the hazards of the location and the ability to deal with them.
