I started to learn to kite surf in Tarifa a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunatly I fell ill and couldn't finish the course before I had to come home. I've caught the bug and would love to get up on the board. I live in Swindon, can anyone recomend any good schools, was thinking Poole. Any help/advice would be great.

there's a few in Poole.

FC Watersports, H2O, Southcoastkitesurfing, Easyriders to name a few.

Hayling island too. Worth looking up Chris Bull.

Most are on the BKSA website
Biggest advice I could give would be check how many are in a class. Nothing worse than 5 people to one kite. Aim for 1 kite between 2 people at the most.
