I am brand new to kiting and have only had 2 hours lessons in perth.
I have had kiting experence but that was a while back in london.(landboarding)
My experience to date would be 60% competent kite + 0% board!!!

Do you reckon it is too late in the season to buy new gear and full block of lessons.
should i wait until october next year or what?????

Any replies and suggestions greatly appreciated.

many thanks in advance

Do it kevin. I did 6 hours of lessons in like 4 days. You'll be out kiting in no time. Lots of season left.
