the only reason i didnt get into the water and body drag was i didnt have my wetsuit in the car

it was the one thing i forgot in the mad rush to get down to the beach.
please dont think i am some idiot who has gone and bought gear and trying it myself with no clue!!......i go with a group of ppl who kiteboard, and they are helping me out, and they dont let me go out when it's the wrong conditions (like wednesday arvo[}:)])
lessons are a luxury i dont have, considering my time off uni, work, and other comitments, not to mention the weather and the distance i gotta travel just to get to the closest kite school....also, my friend who just started out said is first 2 lessons were a joke, and he learnt nothin but how to fly a 3m kite.
if i was going to get lessons i'd get them from a bloke who offered his time as he lives locally (works in the store i got my gear from) and respects my position and lack of time for lessons, so he said he'd just come with me next time i go out and teach me what i dont know/having trouble with.
once again, please dont think i am some ignorent person thinkin i am "king dick" and can do anything, because i know the wind's power and the dangers associated with it, and i am being as careful as i can, and so are the ppl teaching me.
no wind this arvo
