Hey folks

I have been flying a training kite at Brighton Beach for the last few months and am now getting my butt into gear and going to take lessons. I have been told mixed stories from a couple of people and would like some opinions from you guys who are out there on the water. Where is the best place to learn to kite surf? Who, where, prices, hire gear?

Ok, I'm going to buy a second hand kite for my first season. What would you guys/girls suggest I look at for a first kite?
I am 5'7" around 80kgs... Any suggesions? Someone said I should start on a 12m kite?

Thanks

Buy second hand for a first kite.
Significantly cheaper and you won't cry as much if you trash it.

Once you've learnt to kite and you know what sort of kites you prefer then you can demo around and buy one new perhaps for your second season.

Hi Mrwizard, drop this guy a line regarding lesson he is with KBV and they run lesson from Brighton Beach they should be starting anytime now.

Cheers.
