The worst causes of accidents arise from people trying to learn alone or with the help of an inexperienced person. In addition to being dangerous, it may take a while to evolve to the level of what an instructor can do in a relatively short period.

The average duration to understand and master the handling of the kite until you can sail in both directions safely (waterstart) ranges between 9 and 15 hours.
