Kitebug, winter fronts are not good for learning because the wind can change from "comfortable" 15-20 knots to double that speed in a matter of minutes (sometimes seconds).
Ideal wind for learning would be 15-20 knots.
Unfortunately in winter good learning days are rare, but they do happen - yesterday (Sunday) would have been good.
