I will back up howley ,As i had a lesson with them and it was good down at safetly bay and for two hour which is alot better than one because you can have time to practice what you have been shown .
i think the key to lessons is to get them back to back not one each week or you will forget what you have learnt .
Also it is good to get lesson in water that is more than ankle deep so that you are forced to body drag back to your board .rather than stand and walk .or the first time you crash your kite or loose your board in the sea you will $hit yourself .
lastly it might be good to get a lesson with someone that teaches at the location that you intend to kite at most .there is know rule that saying that you have to get all your lessons with the same people .do what works for you . i got four lessons with four different instructures .


have fun .
