Ge.t a depower kite, itll be easier to learn with. Its also safer. Start with loading your kite and powersliding. Thats a good method to build towards
jumps

Get up to speed lean back in your harness and edge hard with your board. As you are edging at speed send your kite from 11oclock to 1. Start this in
lower to medium winds and itll help you powerslide. Do it in strong winds and up you go

 to Carl - i found jumping to be a lot easier (not necassarily the
landing) then toeside riding. I think that riding toeside is a major confidence booster.
