Yes yes yes and yes. I was really struggling with the water start (having no board skills at all, in any discipline). 3hrs of cable park action (Singapore's East Coast Park) meant the next time I tried with a kite, I nailed it. Good luck.

I may have been ambiguous before. Yes. ;-)

The main advantage is that it gives you a consistent pull/power, on consistently flat water, from a consistent start position. So let's you concentrate on the bit immediately after the water start... which for me is immediately when I used to fall over.

Yes.

Might have to go and check out Cables Park in Sydney should be good for a laugh either way haha

Kazan, you raise a good point about the cost... I mean, you don't even get to keep the cables or anything.

But for me, I quickly reached a plateau in progress and I was getting to the point where I was getting sick of trying to water start and eating ocean. For me, it was money well spent... but it's like anything, money spent will fast track the progress (in my opinion).

Warehouse13, there's return flights to singapore for under a grand... no excuse ;-)

opps double post lol
