Ok just home from a week of kite surfing lessons with Padi and crew from Sandgate pool in Brisvegas.

As a newb I would have to give these people a 5 star rating, the friendliness, the professional attitude, by not only Padi but also his international and aussie instructors.

I learnt a lot in that week, may not have got up on the board, but will do so soon, picked up on bladder repairs etc helping others with launches and landings when my body had, had enough from being pounded I think Im a crash king, even got to fang about on a buggy at low tide.

Very safe and clean environment in this area, good restaurants and a very good B & B at Shorncliffe which is just up the road which is just around the corner from the Seaview Hotel, and also a few minutes walk from the railway station, half an hour from Brisvegas.

So other newbs if a holiday is in the offing dont rule out a visit.
