Yes, you may get confused or mistakes when you new one in any sports and the same if you are new in kitesurfing
Below are top 6 Mistakes you should to know

#1. Failing to Understand Wind Direction and Conditions
This is very important in kiteboarding, if you can not recognize the rights then you can not determine the right size of kite and other stuffs and following that you it will affect to your safety while you kiting.
Just look surrounding you like trees, sands, flag… to determine the wind directions
look other kites, which size of kite they used or ask them about that if you feel they are high level than you
#2. Wrong in setup the Kite
How to setup the kite in light wind and strong wind? you need to know this. in my opinion this is not important you can still fly the kite if you wrong setup as long as the lines are not tangle or twist…
But if you wrong this step then you can not kiting for the best sessions as worthy it.
In the connection points of kite have a guideline but not everyone understands.
You need to know this rule when you setup the kite:
The further steering lines are longer than middle lines the kite will less power and opposite. That’s it
#3. Your hand take the action earlier than kite’s movement when control the Kite
So, when you control the Kite you need to waiting for the kite respond to you before you decide making what next, of course if you do the right way then you and kite in the same time, right timing. but you are still new so sometimes this not happened then you need to waiting for the kite react to you. don’t do it like machine, then you will get crash of the kite.
#4. Not get used to safety system yet
wow, you need to understanding about your kite’s safety system, don’t wait the crash happen 😀 .
You need to take your time to practicing with these steps a lot of times. you can do it on land or shallow water or any where that you feel good for you and kite while practicing.
#5. Not relax your arms while controlling the kite
Remember, you hold the power of kite by your back, don’t by your hand. so, the further you relax your mind and your arm the better when you control the Kite.
#6. Panic when the kite get over powered
Yes, when this happen may you pull the bar in. don’t do it. just push it out or let the bar go. just against with your instinct.
