ANYONE EVER FLOWN A 10 SQM POWERKITE ?

So we went to Nordeich but just when we brought our kite out some boy walked over and explained not here.Only nonsurfing kites there even a 12 sqm.In all sites where we could try no wind.So maqybe try Langen Lake.Sure don´t want to get airborne and fly into the clouds.
Also a ski kite.
So we drove around with local fishermen so I could boost up my boating knowledge.

How in hell do you tack with one of those things??

I mean it's not like you can be close-hauled with them...or even a reach. Seems a continual runnning before the wind.

Seems like it's "one way to Norway" and off ye go into the wild blue yonder!!

But it sure as hell seems a blast!!!!
