Kitesurfing beaches

Kitesurfing Dollymount Strand Dublin

Yes, that is sunshine on my local beach in Dublin. It does happen every now and then. It's probably freezing mind, but at least it looks like summer. This is one of the best beaches on the east coast for really getting away from the city - miles of windswept dunes and this pic is about as busy as it gets most of the year. 

I read a post at From Byeline to Finish Line on kite surfing yesterday. Made me realise I haven't posted about this sport even though I see these guys (mostly) in action every time I go to Dollymount.

There's a school based around the beach, so I should make the effort to try it out. Have a fear of re-activating back injuries - aware that makes me sound like a 90-year-old war vet - but how much damage could I do? Have you ever tried this?
