Advice on kit

Hi,
I´m brand new here and brand new to any kind of surfing!!!
I took a two day course last week in Tarifa
and now want the full kit so that I can practice and learn...
I´ve been offered an - Airush Pilot kite with bar and lines (5th line), harness (all new) with a second hand board for €850 (575pounds)
Is this a good price and is it the one that I should be buying to learn with?
I´ve been advised in Tarifa different things buy shops trying to sell me)
Can you give me the right advice?
Thanks

If your on a budget that would be a fine package, depending on board size and your weight. You wont have the 100% de power safety of newer bow kites however. I could probably get you a brand new board and kite for that price, as a lot of companies are selling off old kit now ready for the next years kit. Drop me a line on flywithshem@hotmail.com or call on 07739031593 if your interested.

Good luck

Where are you based?
The pilot is more of a school kite really and you'll probably out grow it quickly once your up and riding. Defo spk to shem if you can.

I have 12m Airush Flow for sale (see ad on this site) that should be a good buy for you.
You won't grow out of it as qiuckly as you would the Pilot
