I thought this too..

But - you usually take it in turns so you only get half the teaching time.. and the other half you are standing around watching your mate learn..

Cheers guys.
Yeah I learn from doing things myself, so 1-1 is it.

It's not really that much more, hopefully Monday will be a good day to get lessons.

I would hope the $400 dollars covers 7-10 lessons

Teach your self how to fly a kite, any kite with 2 lines. A stunt kite 1m wide or a traction kite 3m wide. Anything with 2 lines. Kiteboarding is ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about Kite control, the rest is a piece of cake.

Fly that thing blindfolded, only then get lessons. If you are a gun at kite flying then do it in pairs or solo as lessons are about safety primarily and teaching you the steps to get you riding on your own. After your lessons you need to have your own gear ready to go. Get straight back in the water and try to remember everything you heard. 1 or 2 people makes no difference.

Go kite republic. Big crew, social days, clubs, weekends away, kite camps, pub nights. Get to know fellow kiters. No other school offers that!

All about kite control.

I suggest to have them break down the 5 hours into 3 parts.
I don't like the way they teach kite control straight to body drag and water start in one straight session. these should be broken up into separate lessons where you can practice each part before proceeding to the next.
i dont see how anyone can get on a board when they haven't even gotten a full grasp of kite control or body dragging.

wanna be cheap if lessons are on at Altona!
