Hi all,

It gets a bit intimidating with all you good fullas out having a blast while i'm still trying to get onto the board for more then 10 seconds and occassionally moving the kite around the sky a bit too much.

Is there any advice / etiquette for a noob at a beach with other kiters? Stay downwind for example

Cheers all
Pete

yes, always give windsurfers right of way!

always find someone to help you launch and only go out in cross shore winds.

never stick anything in your ear smaller than your elbow

and don't talk to strangers. especially ones going by the name of bruce.

Beer, can't go wrong with beer.
Offer it to anyone on a windsurfer and you'll go far.

"Boardshorts over the top are out, Budgie smugglers are back in"

Does this mean budgie smugglers over the top?

Give the kite to someone hanging out on Oxford Street and get yourself a windsurfer. You'll be right then.
