I agree 1000000% with Tom (Invisible)..
learing in the right wind conditions is a huge factor..
I spent too much time thinking I should go out only on lighter wind days and ended up extremely frustrated. A solid 15 to 18 day is great for learning after you have the basics in hand.
I also cannot stress how much getting a friend involved in the sport with you at the same time can help out. I took lessons w/ my friend and we shared one quiver of kites (still do) .. during our learning phase we always had one guy on beach, the other kiting.. when sh*t hit the fan (and it will) it was great to have someone watching your back at all times...
