Not to mention it could be very costly to yourself and others using
the water. The last thing i want is a rouge kitesurfer taking me and
my kite out. I had a bad day and Penzances in January and it cost me
my Sling Shot Fuel and a wetsuit and £200 to repair the both and that
was totally mother nautre calling the shots! The only loser is a dead
one!

I would suggest a 10 - 12 m bow kite to star learning on AFTER
lessons! as the are stable and predicable. Kitesufing is nothing like
power kiting. The two kites are very different and control and
reactive in very different ways from one another I know as i started
on power kites
