After the lesson i am looking for a cheap kite so i can practise by my self how to use the kite and to get to know the kite...

Are you after a full size kite. If not try and get oyur hands a aa trainer kite. There should be some for sale in the forum. They are just a small sized foil instead of a fullsized.
Hope it helped

get a 4m or 6m SLE or bow kite to start with.. my sister just started aswell and shes around 30-35kg or something tiny like that and she has a 6m as a main kite while shes still learning and cant use it in much more then 18 knots

Airborne Kitesurfing still have 4m DNA kites available from last year, reasonably cheap(better than a c-kite because of the windrange/depower etc), that or a 6m or something,
Thanks

PS save your cash and get a hybrid especially in such a small sized kite it will make it much easier(just make sure its a super stable kite and not too fast, being small kites and all)

Hey man, got a cheap LF spectrum and a not as cheap Sb2. Pmed you the details.
But yeah i would agree with Vishy and Charl, Hybrids and SLEs offer more windrange.
Hope you find a good kite!

it depends on the wind conditions you will be in but i'd say a 6-8m. and SLE or hybrid because of the wind range..
