Kiting? Windsurfing? Learning to swim?

have you ever had lessons or are you hoping to be self-taught? What kite(s) do you have? Nitinat has 2 great kite schools with certified instructors and chase boats (jet skis). If you are going to go the hard road and be self-taught then Nitinat is a good place to watch and learn, but flailing around and getting dragged in front of everyone with out any support is not the greatest fun. I highly suggest taking lessons.. but either way Nitinat is a good choice. Don't try Cook St. or Gordon's as a kook, but Island View has good potential but it is a bit hard to get the timing for wind there (that's where I learned, and Nitinat).

Good on you for posting here and asking - very wise!

Nihtnat is a great place to learn, but get some lessons. You'll be happy you did.

Think of it like learning to scuba dive without lessons! You might learn that on your own with a few tips from friends too!
