Dan mate it sounds to me like you are advertising for free. I hope laurie does not mind but I'm sure he doesn't

Sea Dog the fact is most kitesurfing shops sell second hand equipment but that is not what worries me...


What worries me is you said you are after a beginners kit. Does that mean you have never kitesurfed before? Then I highly recommend you go book for a lesson now beofore the long weekend. You can go with Ian Young, Choice, Fulltilt, Pelican point etc. (sorry if I did not mention you)

Once you have taken a lesson then its okay to go to the beach and be on 'your own'. I recommend then you go to a beach where there are kitesurfers that are willing to help you (nearly all are).

When I say on your own I mean where there are still people who can help when you are in trouble.

If you are a good kitesurfer then ignore my advice.

Good luck
Marty

Ps John from SOS has been very very good to me over the years and I also do recommend him.

SOS sponsor the site - big cheers to SOS for helping keep the show going!

I guess you've had a squiz in the Buy & Sell bit?

As the other guys suggest, checkout these local retailers...
