Hey howdy all
I'm new on this site and new to the hobby! In fact, so new I haven't been out yet! I have my kite, wetsuit and harness, just waiting for my board and my lessons of course!
Im hoping to learn alot in the next while and hoping to see alot more ladies join the sport! Any very NB tips for beginners are welcomed!!! :)
Thanks guys

Good luck with it
Hey Kimmi,
Fairplay to you,
My advice would be just keep on trying......they'll be some great days and some frustrating days, they'll be days when you improve lots and days when you feel like you've taken 3 steps back again, sometimes it will be because of different more challenging conditions, sometimes it will just be you.
When you start, it will be áll i wanna do is get up on the board'
When your up on the board it will be 'all i wanna do is turn
When you can turn, it will be áll i wanna do is go upwind
AND then, it will be áll i wanna do is JUMP.'' WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And you will.
Lessons are all good and you can learn heaps from asking down the beach or even just watching what others do.
HAPPY DAYZ AHEAD! :0)
Hey thanks a lot for the tips guys! I am CERTAIN i will be addicted like everyone on this forum!! I have sleepless nights just thinking how much fun I'm going to have and I haven't even been out! I have power-kited before and loved it so am sure this is going to be awesome!
I'm only planning one lesson to get the basics as I have mates that K/surf and are excellent and of course willing and eager to get a new recruit going! :)
Shot!
Someone saw my shot of adrenaline somewhere? ... Just a little shot... where s the wind, come on wind...come on... please me...
Huh? who's addicted???
Hi Kimmi,
Welcome to the sport. Too much fun ahead for you. I have a website full of handy hints, tips and FAQ's for beginners and intermediates alike, so head on over and take a look, you can learn heaps by browsing and reading through most of the pages.
actionsportswa.com.au/ It's all free and if there's something you want to know, just ask and I'll do my best to help out.
Good winds,
Hey there, Hope you really enjoy getting into it. Last season was my first and I learnt alot by watching the guys and girls on the beach and walking up to them for a chat. Next best thing i did was to spend time with a friend who had been kiting for a while and he watched what I was doing and gave me some great advice that really sped things up and stopped me from developing bad habits. Stick with it though cause it can be frustrating.
Yes,
Goto Langebaan, its a top spot to learn. Flat and fairly shallow water and then tackle Big Bay once you are confident.
You won't be short of wind .......Enjoy the Cape Doctor
go girl, you're gunna luv it the sport and the friendships - the help and the hints
I'm a surfer for 50 years big waves big place but nothing and I mean nuthun beats kiting
Hi Kimmie,
