Hi

Would like to engage in some kite surfing lessons, living on the northern end of the Gold Coast , I have done lots of different water sports, but not kite surfing..
If anyone out there who knows of anybody who can do a one on one session to get me up and running would be great.
You would be paid for your time.

Thanks
Karl

Yep Surf FX,
but most folks need 3 - 5 lessons plus time on their own to get going. That includes wakeboarders, windsurfers and surfers. You'll find that out during your first lesson. Some folks get upwind in 2 but they're very rare. Just think how long it took you to drive a car? You're dealing with a lot of power, you're strapped in, and you have to steer to brake! Take it easy - fork out or befriend an instructor and you'll learn sooooooo much faster.
I'm a customer only of FX and they are great guys and will help you out with good priced gear b4 or after your lessons & I'm sure most people will tell you that their kite shop is the best!
