Hi guys

After seeing the guys having a great sesh at Stockton today, I've been inspired to bring my kite down from brissy. I have a few question:

1. I've had a few lessons and only managed to get on the board for a few second. Can someone recommend a good kitesurfing school/instructor so I can get a feel of the area here and know the nsw rules?

2. Would stockton be OK for me to practise as a beginner? If not, what is a good place for beginners? I've read the forum and someone suggested Swansea.

3. Does Jetstar charge extra for bringing my board and kite?

4. Lastly, are there any newbies interested in getting together to practise?


Sorry for all the questions but thought I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Cheers

pm Mr float on here, he is a great instructor!
As for stocko for learning, i learnt there altho the waves can get frustrating while your learning board skills.
Just be aware of the surfclub no go zone during summer etc, but come have a chat to any of us down there and we will fill u in about the dos n donts.

ps mind the sharks over here lol

Thanks for the info Juz.

Shame about the sharks. Guess I better learn to stay on the board for more than 10 sec or get chomped up
