Jump start off the beach and then don't stack it the whole session and you will be fine!!

Realistically I think that whilst when your swimming you spend more time immersed in the water, when you are kiting you have a much higher chance of ingesting water or having water forced into your nose and ears ( and an enema isn't impossible) which is when problems are most likely to occur

It's why foiling was invented

One spray of water is one bacteria on you.... so it's no safer than swimming.

I think its more about ingestion of that water into one of many of your orifices.

The irony is that you have to get to chest height before you even start so you can be wetter than beach starting on a TT.
Also while learning you crash a lot more, so again wetter than TT. Plus there's way more face planting and water getting injected into your facial orifices.....

But then again foiling gets you out past the poo invested shore break in into cleaner water.
