From the first day when you see a kitesurfer, and think "I'd like to do that!" to ripping up the water..  :-)

If you've never flown a kite before, it's essential you get lessons.

Check out this video which shows the progression from complete noob to being a competent kitesurfer.

Please:  Get lessons - don't think you can learn the power of the kite by being dragged face first through the dunes.      Would you skydive without lessons?  Probably not, so best to treat kitesurfing with the same respect!

Enjoy the video...
