Thanks for the tips.
I am watching ebay. My leanings are to start with Slingshot Fuel along the 11M range, but the deals on the new Best kites look nice as well. I wont purchase a kite until I get a lesson or two in. I just want to buy a trainer because I can start messing with that now. I understand the power zones and wind windows from flying stunters. I have been drug down the beach by a couple of those before. lol |

good plan, looks like you're on the right track.
You can keep the trainer kite for buggy and mountain board later on. Ivan cleared out some nice flat spots on the beach, so I'll be looking for a mountain board to play with my small kite. some of those under $200 deals on iWindsurf look hard to pass up, and a small kite, 11m range will be managable up to 15mph for learning, almost a trainer IMO. (when you get better, you'll use that 11m with a small board in 20-30mph eventually). and like you said, the Best deals are nice, great to get a new kite, has it's advantages. |

Wow thanks for the help folks
I have been lurking on several boards, reading and posting. I had started to feel the the world of kiteboarding was one of those closed communities that was going to be hard to break into. I appreciate the responses. From what I have been reading there are a growing number of problems steming from new riders that dont understand the dos and donts, being reckless and causing problems for the sport at large. It seems that in that case, newbie indoctrination would be a paramount concern. This board and others like it do a great job in facilitating that |

Sorry, meant Kite leash. This was over a year ago, I talked to the guy about it, no drama as the Ausies say.
Do you guys have any plans for Sunday if we get NW 15-25 ? Got to practice a few days last week, so not too rusty for Sunday I hope. Good winds, Dix |
