Not necessarily. Like skiing, technique is a lot more important that brute strength. Most students are successful if they’re dedicated and committed. It’s no different than learning any other skill in life. Time and commitment.

Yes, a little.  Any board sports will help you with board control.  However, about 90% of the learning is handling the kite, so using a trainer kite can get your skills up quicker.

You can buy a complete set of secondhand gears (board, kite + bar, harness+surfsuit), depending on condition, anywhere from 5000dkk to 10000dkk.  Price ranges for new gear are:  Kite: 8000dkk to 14000dkk, Board: 3000dkk to 5000dkk, Harness: 800dkk to 2000dkk. Please note that if you are buying a second hand kite, make sure that the kite you are buying is less than 4 years old.  Every year there are improvements in the safety of kites – by buying a relatively recent kite you will keep yourself safe.  Never be tempted into buying a cheap old kite if you are a beginner – they are cheap for a reason and can be very dangerous.

We’ll wait. If it doesn’t get better, your lesson will be rescheduled. There will be no charge.

Thanks to massive design improvements of the kites in last couple of years, the sport has become much safer. I only use the latest and safest equipment, all of which have ‘let-go’ safety systems that kill 100% of the power of the kite on demand. The youtube videos you may have seen are probably from a long time ago.
