Opinions needed from Virginia beginner

[Yorktowner]

I know most of you guys are in Flordia, so I thought that I would get your opinion. I have read through this entire forum within the past few days, and let me say "this site is sweet". Anyway I am new to flying 2-4 line kites but have been interested in learning the larger kites for kitesurfing, boarding and land, but just didnt know where to start. I am looking into the Beamer TSR 3.6 to learn the basics before I try anything else. I will be flying in a very large field to start. And yes, I have looked into lessons and plan on them before attempting any boarding activities. Is the Beamer TSR 3.6 a good starter kite? Thanks for your opinions
