I live about 15 minutes from a very windy beach and am thinking about taking up Kite boarding. I am already an experienced snow boarder, wake boarder and water skier.
Does anyone have suggestions on the ideal way to learn to kitesurf without having to spend $500.00 on lessons, and is it realistic to think that I will be able to learn kiteboarding without kitesurfing lessons? Also, can anyone make a suggestion on where to buy my kite gear? I do not want to spend more than $1500.00. Thank you very much.

Who Can Learn Kitesurfing
"Can a Teen Girl or Someone Over 50 Y.O. Learn How to KiteSurf?"
First of all, kitesurfing (kiteboarding) is considered an extreme sport, such as wakeboarding, rock-climbing, mountain biking etc. Even though our kitesurfing kites got way safer in 2006, with Bruno Levangay's invention of the BowKite, making the handling of kites much easier and with the possibility to depower the kite 95%, kiteboarding still requires the following:
- You need to feel confident in water
- Be a good swimmer
- Have good physical shape, no back problems or arthritic handicaps
If you're out of shape, overweight or very thin and have no muscles, you can do some simple streches and excercises to get a bit stronger. But anyway, you'll get stronger when you kitesurf.
Kite surfing is not as difficult on the arm nor strenuous on back muscles as windsurfing is.
Now, it doesn't matter if you're 12 or 50, muscelous or not…
We've taught 75 YO Dominican former windsurfer to kiteboard and we taught 10 YO children too.
We teach men and we teach women.
