Need help with my kiting adventures

Im new to kiting .

I bought a 3m trainer and have use 20 times in all kinds of winds

Ive bought a 10m and use 8 or so times. Use in normal wind conditions and have mastered it just on the sand and doing jumps as big as i can .

I already owned a mountain board and just bought a skim board .

>>>

My problem is i cant find a good beach to use mountain board or a descent park that has good wind (parks hurt went bailing ).

Any good locations for mountain board?

Havent had a chance to use skimboard in the water.

Need a location with big shallow water no many big waves.??

>>>

Could anyone give me some extra training (relaunching in water) .

let me have a go of there proper kite board .

let me have a go of a kitebuggy ? so i know what its like before i spend 900 dollars on a buggy .

no ones going to lend you their gear. Get some lessons before you hurt yourself or someone else. If you can't afford that this sport is not for you

thought someone was going to say something like that . just thought there might be someone out there willing to lend an old board and teach tell me some tips .

im well controlled with the kite but yeah i know dont want to run into someone on the water etc .

just thought i could get some help so when i get lessons in a few weeks i can skip to more advance things to get my moneys worth .

the best money you will ever spend in kiteboarding is getting the basics right from the start. Don't try to take short cuts. The more advanced stuff will soon follow. then you have your whole life to enjoy this awesome sport.
