if she is afraid of sharks then best move to another country and get lessons as we have white pointers in the ocean and also bull sharks in the river . No where is safe in the metro area

Also lots of sharks outside of Metro area but nobody is spotting them on a day-to-day basis so one doesn't know if they are around or not until ...

Mate try elemental or SOS and ask for lesson's in the River. Its shallow and little chance of sharks.

Sounds like you definately have your finger on the pulse there LHB when it comes to lessons.

The fact is that on the river it's also interupted easterly (from the mountains bouncing and swirling around) wind which is unstable and not exactly the best to learn in. (eg kite jumping around, dropping out of the sky, difficulty in self rescuing)

Also the instructors on the river don't teach with headzone radio helmets. They will just yell at you or hang onto you...

If you want a consistent learning experience you need to stay away from the river and head over to the ocean side. If the school you choose doesn't have headzone then you are getting ripped off.

Thank me later.

hey you should give Gwen a call at perth kitesurfing school, there really nice guys there & will get the ladie up & running in no time, best price around. My mate just went with them & go on really well. good luck.
heres there web site perthkitesurfingschool.com.au/

Just think for a second, your girlfriends got a 8m in the sky, something happens, instructor does'nt react in time, jo public is taken out by a out of control kite,
question 1. Who gets sued
question 2. who gets bad publicity

thanks everyone for your answer..i checked all the websites, and i just book with a school. ii will
let u know if my girlfriend has been biten by a shark:)

If I were a learner right now I'd be nervous body dragging..

Jason from West Oz runs the lessons down at Safety Bay, they seem to be switched on, they even carry the kite back sometimes. They use the headsets and the water is nice, shallow and warm.

If you're worried about sharks, they'll probably go for me as I teabag further out after stacking (these stacks happen a lot, maybe I should have some lessons)

I learnt kitesurf in this school with really good instructors. A nice experience !
I recommend !!

Nick

they give lessons according to their website in 3 locations that are not good for beginners .

Pelican point ?

**** me are you serious . one of the worst spots for beginners with no margin for error .

perthkitesurfingschool.com.au/lessons/

these guys are excellent, really helpful, gave my partener the tips that i couldn't

if your struggling they break it back to the basics.
and very cost effective

does it really matter? as long as are teaching the correct method and safely whats your problem, far better than many other monkey shows i have seen in the city

Hi Padrino,

If you really loved your girlfriend, you wouldn't be looking for the cheapest kite school in Perth, you would be looking for the best.

Try buying her the cheapest engagement ring in Perth and see how well that goes down, or buy her the cheapest car or cheapest anything for that matter.

Good luck with that

DM

What don't you guys think that cheapest means its a few dollars cheaper than most, he's not asking for a lesson based on $10p/h, but thats prob what most are prob paying the instructor when you sit and work out the houly rate form the time they start to finish.
