Hi All,
Looking at getting into kiting in 2012 and have been reading up on lessons etc....I have seen that there are two types of lessons...
1/ Trainer kite first; or
2/ Get into it
Is there one that is better than the other???
Thanks...
well, if you fly on your own a trainer kite before having lessons you avoid spending precious lesson time on it.. the teacher will just check if you can actually fly it, and if so you will start using a real (smaller than average) kite for practicing..if you can't then you'll have to learn how to fly the trainer, before having something much more powerfull in your hands...
my advice: buy/borrow/hire/obtain a trainer kite, make it fly some hours... check on the internet for some advice on what skill to practice, like the "8", and generally get a nice feel, of being in control of it.. and then have lesson..
my 2c
Edit: so to answer your question: no, there are not 2 types of lesson, it's the same lesson, but starting from the absolute basic, or from a little further
