I havent had much experience doin water sports,just wondering if it would make it harde rto learn how to kitesurf or surfas im interested in learning both.If anyone can give a bit of advice i would appreciate it.Thanks

Surfing takes longer to learn and hours of practice just to be able to go across the face of the wave and to even start to look like you know what your doing. Also longer to get into some decent waves. But kitesurfing just takes at most 3 lots of 3 hour lessons and your away. kiting is also more expensive. Just learn both so you can kite in summer and surf in winter or just go straight to the top of the class and learn to windsurf, then you wont wanna kite or surf. Windsurfing is basically surfing using the wind. Wave riding is the ultimate level of achievement on any board type. It's just what you choose to ride it with? Stay away from the esky at all costs. They are for pimple popping grommets

Hehehe I knew as soon as I typed that that you would come back with a reply. Respect goes to you Elmo my elder and superior windsurf buddy

Well you said you didn't have much water sport experience.
If You're kiting a kilometer or more off shore and something goes wrong, it'd be handy to be able to swim back!!!!!
