Good luck pete stick with it everyone has done the learn curve will tell ya get ready to drink some water . Can be a little hard sometimes but it eventually clicks and it is the most fredom sport you can get .You the kite and mother nature . Sure she will give ya the odd slapping but that so you dont forget she is there . Get the progression dvds well worth the money spent .After you do lesson watch it and a lot of things make way more sense .
Hope too catch up with ya on the water some day
