Getting Started
Hi all.
I am sure this question has been posted a million times before but i am just after some advice on how to start kite surfing.
Me and my son who is 16 are looking to buy a kite to try out this sport but i could do with a bit of help to know what to buy or what
not to buy. The ultimate aim is to get back on the water as we have both enjoyed a few years of waterskiing.
I realise that may be some time off as niether of us have flew a kite before but are keen to get started.
Cheers. Rick.

Firstly, get lessons, an absolute must.

Id hone up on your kite skills with a foil kite on land for a while, and then as bucksi says, grab yourself some lessons. You'll be up
and riding far quicker than trying to teach yourself and you'll have the safety knowledge too.
why tip toe through life only to arrive safely at death?
