I´m new in this sport. I first knew ´bout kitesurfing by the tv but last weekend a friend brought a kite (without the board) to the beach and I tryed it…it was really cool.
I have done bodyboarding all my life and now I´m surfing (starting). I´ve also done snowboarding in Vermont, US a couple of seasons and also wakeboarding and sandboarding here in Peru...so you could say that I´m used to this sports.
I don´t know many people the practice the sport here in Peru but I intend to start it whenever I can.
My brother is travelling to the states next week (san diego and las vegas) and we want to buy all the gear for kitesurfing (kite, board and everything) ´cause you can´t get it here.
Please let me know where can we look for it, places, stores, brands and prices.
I´m 1.65 mts tall and weight 65 kgs, my brother is 1.70 mts tall and weights 85 kgs.
Sorry ´bout my english errors and hope you get my message. Thanxs.

Your English is better than most AOLers. I had no problem reading it.

I don't know anything about stores in the cities that you mentioned, so I can't be of much help there, but I would suggest that you check out Ebay. I've seen some really good deals lately on used kites and boards.

I bought my kite - new - (2002 16 Meter Slingshot) at the start of the 2004 season and i got a great close-out deal on it. If you look around, you can find good deals online.

Hello Nachokite,
I sent you a private message with some specifics that might be of some help to you.
