YUP,
Without a doubt the best money you can spend is on lessons ! You will walk away with confidence that you can handle yourself. The lessons themselves
will springboard you into the riding level. Trying to figure it out on your own can be very frustrating and slow. By the time you are done you will
have flown a few kites and have a much better idea of the right gear for your own needs and area. Potentially saving you money , time and Agro ".

Yeah, kites powerfull enough to pluck you out of the water are dangerous without proper professional instruction. It is a big investment for
everything you need and it's easy to get the wrong stuff. An instructor will help you with that.

choose the right spot for beginners
shallow water
on shore or on-side shore winds
stable winds if possible
not too much waves
practice body drag a lot
and yup take lessons, they will teach you a lot of stuff about security that you will not have thought of
