Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum so here goes.

I recently had some kitesurfing lessons while abroad, and would like to continue here in the n.east.

However i am struggling to find the names and numbers of

1st instructors to help me progress and 2nd shops where i can purchase equipment, any feed back on these points would be appreciated

cheers guys

Just a qiuckie, what type of wind speeds do i need to be looking at to get the kite up and running but not to strong for a beginner like me, for sfety reasons
