Hi,

Im 14 years old and looking for a cheap begginers setup to get me started in kiting cheers.

do yourself a favour and get a DNA, surper simple starter kite and also great to progress with. Great stability wind range and safety. We started out on these in january and have been riding winter storms and waves down south already.
If you do outgrow it you'll always be able to sell or trade it as they are preferred by a lot of schools.

Hi Kitesurfin,

We are currently selling off our last years DNA kites and some boards too. You can contact me through our website.

Cheers mate,

50kg

Hey Andrew,

No worries mate, you can leave it with us and let us know the name of the grom it is destined for, and probably a code word or something so some other toey little grom doesnt' beat him to it. Something like "The lord of the board, will give not to the horde"

Grand gesture! Lucky Grom!

Good winds,

I wonder if he is actually gonna get into it this time??

This same type of post has been mentioned many times before:

unchained doesnt mention that he was going to spend $650 on an 11m 05 Vegas before i found out he was wanting to get into kiting.
but if ya want a cheap kite thats in very good condition and flys fine add me on msn. russell underscore (_) cargill at hotmail dot come

How bout this then, Ill throw in a 1.8m Ocean Rodeo Stinger.
Someone else give him a bar with 4 lines...can be twine i spose.
Someone different donate a pump or a set of lungs?

If you do get a chance to get into kiting, then keep an eye out for FREE kitesurfing clinics which are hosted by local schools from time to time. Noosa has one on the 4th November hosted by Noosa Kiteboarding and Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia and Surf Connect are doing them in Sandgate Brisbane.

Alot of guys and girls have been taught by friends, which is great, but alot of the safety basics get missed. These clinics are designed to help you out, but to keep kitesurfing safe and in the communities good books, so that we can continue to kite our local hot spots for years to come.

If in doubt ask AKSA for info on local kitesurfing clinics in your area.

Our suggestion for the best beginners kite is a Turbo Diesel 2 (great relaunch and tough as). Be aware that cheap kites on ebay are rarely good beginners kites. They are hard to come by because they are just that, good kites and usually get sold on very quickly.

Best of luck
KSA
