Hi There !!!


I just started to learn kite surfing. I am looking for someone who wants to learn kiting who lives in Adelaide as none of my mates want to do it.

It is easier to learn with someone than on my own as you loose the board a lot when you first start. In addition you need someone to launch and land the bigger kites till you get good at it. With two people we can swap the kite while the other person keeps an eye on the kiter and board ... etc Like an observer till the skill is mastered. I don't really want to pay $$ for someone to walk after me while I do all the work.

I have taken 3 lessons and know what to do so if you are serious about kiting, have taken at least one lesson and have the gear then we can go out together. You can give me a hand as I have all the gear. I will also save you $$ on the extra lessons as they will not be required. I know what needs to be done so it is just a matter of getting out there and doing it as it involves muscle memory. It will be a lot easier learning in pairs which will accelerate the learning process. We will both benefit that way. In addition it will be safer as if the kiter gets into trouble the other person will be able to help them out.

I saw a few new guys use this method (two guys one on the kite and the other helping out). I think it is the best way to learn and there will be less chance of loosing the board or damaging the kite ;-)

So if any of you guys or gals are interested let me know and we will work something out.

Cheers,

Mikoman

did you post this every where?

Hey!

Although practicing with an experience kiteboarder seems like the best way to learn, I don't think going in pair with another begginer is a bad idea. I'm a begginer aswell and would defenitly partner up with you. I will not be in Australia until October, so if you are not a pro by then or have'nt found anybody look me up! Until then good luck!
