The final 33% is "sailing navigation". Windsurfing is probably the best for you. Why? Because you can harness the wind and have fun, but if you end up a mile away from shore, how you going to come back? Navigation!! (or maybe, the epic embarrassment of lifeguard powerboat pulling you back to beach). Also, do not confuse windsurfing with sailboating. Sailboating requires different mindset, and procedural memorization. Windsurfing it's similar but it's "all feel". There you go, I mention 3 things to shortcut your kiteboard ramp up. Now have fun.

So, kite control is only 33%. Let's talk about the other 66%. That is boardsport with power pulling dynamics. The training for that would be waterskiing and wakeboarding. The kite is basically a powerful moving vehicle that is dragging you. It doesn't just pull you, and pull you "up". Easier said than done. How many people "fail" just waterskiing? Take work.

I started chess♟️ (tip nr.2) for when the wind drops here in Tarifa 🇪🇸

Absofookenlootely learn or rather "master" kiting on land. Not talking about a puny 1.6 m^2 trainer, but at least a 4.0 m^2 four line kite. Something that can lift you, drag you and kill you and others. Feel the power, fear the power and respect the wind. Make all your mistakes and self-launches until you have total, absolute, unquestioned control of the wind, gusts and any natural deviations. Now, you can totally focus on harnessing the power to maintain balance and control in typical "choppy" waters that goes hand-in-hand with wind.

1. Trainer kite isn’t worth it. You’ll fly it once or twice and then you’ll never need it again after lessons. Save the money for lessons. 2. Why would you need to go learn a different sport first. Just jump into Kitebording (with lessons). If you have previous boarding experience, great. But it’s not a requirement 3. Boat-supported lessons are nice but aren’t really necessary. Depends on where you’re learning at I guess.

[@crocodile172]

Totally agree with you. Trainer kite will teach you absolutely nothing! Waste of time and money. Wakeboarding/windsurfing does not help at all.

[@KitesurfingBeginner]

Certainly, kitesurfing is fantastic, but sometimes the wind isn't on our side. So, learning another sport like wakeskating allows us to enjoy the water even when we can't hoist the sail. Variety is the key to fun!

[@test5093]

Totally agree!! Its either a waste of money or time or both. Learn a board sport? Wtf is that? Thats like saying the best way to learn how to play the piano is to first learn how to play the guitar. It makes zero sense. Sure there is some transfer of skill but how on earth is that not way more inefficient than juat learning the skill you actually want to learn?

It sounds almost a bit Caribbean at times and other times a bit British… based off of that I’m guessing Bermuda?
