Finally able to kiteboard to my left and right!
A little under powered with the 10m but the winds picked up from 14 mph to 25 mph about 20 minutes latter.
Finally can go both right and left, transitioning back and forth, just need to make it up wind now!

Thanks guy's, I hope to go out again after work if there is wind, going to try some kite loops to keep me moving in light wind.
I never thought going from snow to water would be such a difficult transition, perhaps if I knew how to wake board first it would of been a little
easier, I'm getting there. This is harder than walking and chewing bubble gum!
Now I need to figure how to get up wind to my starting point!

you are doing great , wake boarding would not help much, but more wind... and things will move along quicker for sure.
