Hi, I'm traing to get my first kite and I don't have any experience on kitesurf. Anyone can help me to choose a beginer stuff, what i need to know about safety issues etc, any reference is welcome. Im from Guadalajara Mexico and looks like nobody practice the kitesufing in the beach.
I plan to practice the kite in a big plane park just for learn how to fly the kite. Then i will use a skateboard an finily the kitesurf...
I plan to buy only used stuff beuse in mexico is a expensive sport.
But i will like to know that i need to buy and what are the specs to buy any stuff.
Thanks

Dude, you sound like you're looking for a "sugar daddy".
Don't play dumb, kiteboarding has been all over Mexico since 2000 and there is great kiting places in Jalisco.

Assuming you haven't flown a kite yet, buy a 1-2m 2 or 4 line foil kite then fly the ass off that. Then ask about what size kite to buy

At this stage, I think that taking an intro lesson is more important than buying a kite. Use the trainer kite with your skateboard or with a sandslider in the shorebreak. Make sure to wear a helmet, especially if you are trying to practice on your own.
