Main Points Of This Video
Harness Selection: The first piece of equipment to buy is a harness, which is essential for comfort and support. Beginners should choose between a soft shell, a standard waist harness, or a seat harness, with most opting for a waist harness due to its versatility.
Safety Gear: Consider additional safety gear such as an impact flotation vest and a helmet, which provide extra protection depending on the riding conditions and personal comfort level.
Kite Choice: For beginners, an all-around kite like the North Reach is recommended for its ease of use and reliability. Investing in a well-known brand that's popular at local beaches is advised for better support and resale value.
Board Selection: Choose a board that is appropriately sized to make learning easier. Beginners should start with a board around 140-144 cm to facilitate getting up and riding, avoiding the temptation to choose smaller, more advanced boards.
