I just want to give a big Thanks to the people at elemental kite boarding. I in my thirties and have a four kids. I wanted to start kite surfing as I enjoyed many of my younger years surfing. Only stopped, when I moved to Alice Spring. I had been to four different places in Perth with money in my pocket to buy a kite and board and all the gear. I stated to them all that I wanted to learn to kite surf and buy all my gear etc. I was totally amused at how fast the sale people dismissed my because I had my two young boys with me aged 5 and 3. The part that pissed me off the most was I had the money in my pocket to spend. If only I had a pair of breasts like the young girls that walked in, maybe they would have had a good day with the sales. No one seems too interested in me or my money. The one place that did would not sell me new gear for under $3000. (10 or 12 meter kite and board and harness) I also wanted lessons. I did however hear a radio add on the way home from kite addiction. Well the next day I off to kite addiction with kids in tow. Well what a surprise the sale person Daniel was unreal. He had all time in the world for me and sorted me out with all that I needed, seeing that I was still unsure, Daniel suggested that I do a lesson first that way I’d know if I wanted to take up kite surfing. So off I go to element kite boarding and I glad I did! The people there treat you like a good friend. Caroline and Wouter my instructors were only too happy to offer me help and advice, before and now after my kite surfing course. I can only stress to all the sale people out there that lost my business. I am glad that I never purchased my set up from you, as I have found the best place in Perth to continue my sending on my new sport. I well also stress to anyone who wants to learn kite surfing and buy there gear you can’t beat the good people from kite addiction and elemental kite boarding (www.elementalkiteboarding.com,www.kiteaddiction.com.au). Not only am I learning I new sport but I’ve made new friend, and that is worth the wait to find the best places in Perth to spend my hard earned money. On finishing I like to thank Daniel for selling me a kite, board, harness board bag life vest, and a very big Thanks to Wouter and Caroline for showing me how to try and drown myself with style.

I'm glad they also advised you to take lessons first mate. Otherwise you would have been a very unpopular sort on the beach... the guy with all the gear and no idea how to use it.

Stay safe.
