dude this looks great! I have been considering getting in to this for a while but never pulled the pin. any advice for a new starter? I'm a moderate snowboarder and never flown a kite before.
Definitely look into it! It is highly recommended to take lessons. One thing you can do to get started is get a trainer kite and fly it in a field, this will speed things up when you do go to take lessons. The board experience will help as well. Get after it man!
