This time of year is really tough to learn to kite. Your best bet is to travel to a windy place like NC or Texas where you will get ideal wind for learning. If you can get several lessons over a short period of time and practice what you learn immediately after the lesson you will learn much faster than stretching the lessons and sessions out over a longer period of time.
The key to maximizing your time and value when taking a lesson is to fly a trainer kite until you can do it with your eyes closed and have reached the point of being bored with it. Then take a session or two at the cable park or book a wakeboarding lesson and get some board skills if you have none.
If you do these things prior to taking a kiteboarding lesson, you will likely learn and earn your entry level certification in 4-6 hours of instruction.
The wind will begin to return around October and a consistent wind that lasts for several days will be well worth waiting for.
The site is down right now and since I am no web wizard it will likely take a few days before it's back up.
