hey folks, hey I windsurf on the goldy, a few of you would have seen me around, anyways im selling all my windsurfing gear, need to pay some bills, and when Im cashed up may look at getting into kiting.

Any tips?

Im going to get some lessons straight up.

My goal is to replace my wave jumping on my sailboard with kiting in the ocean and having some fun.

So, any tips, advice encouragement etc appreciated.

Hey Mate
Sounds like you are doing the right thing by having lessons which is the best step you can take. If you want some extra stuff to learn then pop in to our shop on saturdays when we have our free theory lessons, its a good way to get all the info you need and its FREE and have any questions answered you may have.

Cheers Jacko

thanks Paul, hey Marty we must have crossed paths, I live behing KFC in mermaid and always hit the beach outfront, south of the flags!

Yeah Im over sitting on the beach watching kiters hit it, and not having enough wind to sail, nothing worse!

Im looking forward to it now, Ill come and look for you when the wind blows, and once im going and ready for the ocean, see you out there
