As talked about on other pages here, one of the great things about owning a powerkite is the sheer variety of things you can do with it. You can be boring and fly the kite, or you can learn to scud, you can bodyscud in the water, you can sit in a 3 wheeled contraption known as a buggy and slide about the place, you can surf the waves, or you can use it to hurtle along the beach at breakneck speed on a mountainboard.

You need to be both a proficient kite flyer and mountainboarder to do this, so it is a good idea to learn each discipline first before combining the two. And of course you should think about wearing safety gear - a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads make a good start.

It has to be said that out of all the power kite activities, combining with a mountain board is the most frustrating and the most difficult to get right. You will loose count of the number of times you get your feet into the bindings only to have the kite pull you straight back out again. But if you persist there is nothing more gratifying than nailing a jump, or a 180°/360° or greater. Be prepared to fall off numerous times and ensure to have a nice hot radox bath ready when you get home.
