Take a Lesson

Hey Guys, today I have come to you with a piece of advice. If you want to get into the great new sport of kiteboarding take a lesson. I myself didn't and it can be done that way. But there are many things a lesson can help you with as well as keep you safe.

First off rigging up your kite really isn't very simple. You have to do it right or you wont be able to control your kite properly and that can cause some serious side effects like death. This really isn't a joke because there have been deaths which are mainly due to people being un educated.

Another advantage of taking a lesson is the learning curve is greatly increased. Let me clarify that , you learn much more quickly with the help of someone who knows what they are doing. They can teach you not only the best way to do the stuff but the easiest and also the fastest.

There are a lot of places that give lessons but if you don't know anyone already involved in the sport the best way to do it is go to a school or training camp. The biggest and in my opinion the best is Real Kiteboarding located in Cape Hatteras, NC. The are the worlds largest kiteboarding school. The great thing is all the people are real kiteboarders. This is what they are really passionate about and what they love doing. That is where my buddy Sleazy works he is the sponsored pro I told you all about in an earlier entry. However don't plan on getting your lesson from him they really only keep him around for his celebrity status just kind of as a promotional thing. Still all the instructors are very good and realy know their stuff.

All in all take a lesson and do it at Real Kiteboarding in Cape Hatteras, NC.
