1 kite is good to start.. really..

as a beginner you will want a medium range kite .. you want to only go out when the conditions are good for your mid-range kite.

i had a 15m yarga to learn on and it was perfect (i weigh 185 or so)..

something in the 12-15 range is perfect to learn on .. if its blowing too much for that kite, please get off the water and just be patient.. you wont learn anything by going out in conditions you are not ready for. if you have a small kite you might be tempted to get back on the water.

once you have a number of sessions under your belt, are riding upwind with ease.. you are set to get your other kites..

if you have different types of kites (bow / c ) etc.. you will need a bar for each. i have one bar for all my c kites (4 of them) and one bar for my waroos (2 of them).

now..... did you take lessons? gotta ask man.. gotta ask.
