Kite surfing St. Kilda, Melbourne

We took a bike ride around St. Kilda beach in Melbourne. Really nice bike path and lots of kite surfers. Apparently many of these now include an inflatable collar so you see all these guys blowing up the kite before they go out. This really looks like fun although I can't figure exactly how they balance this so the thing just doesn't take off and drag them right out of the water and across the road. But I bet Andy Gill knows? Is your weight balanced to the size of your kite, or all just depends on your skill. Either way, we might need to give this a try, although in calmer winds and bluer waters. No wet suits please.
