I mean, if you take biking or skiing, you can start try, fail and try again, but in those extreme sports I mentioned in the title, you don’t really seem to get second chances lol
Any idea? Any personal experience?

You get plenty of second chances in kitesurfing. Are you mistaking something for kitesurfing that is actually something else? Kitesurfing involves a harness and kite and board on water. The first N hours you spend time learning to control the kite on land and then doing a lot of half-drowning in shallow water as you continue to learn to control the kite in water. The worst thing that happens while taking lessons is you get dragged out a bit to sea (hopefully you have chosen to taken lessons somewhere with on shore or at least parallel wind so you don’t get dragged out too far) and then you get to deal with the mortifying swim back to shore dragging the downed kite behind you.
Or, if you’re me and you panic and forget emergency procedures like letting out the kite, you scream for a while and another kitesurfer kindly comes along and drags your stupid ass back to shore.
