Lesson # 1
Patients !!!

Just what kind of help are you looking for ?

First step is basic flying skills, you'll want to be able to fly a figure 8 to one side of the window no problem, that means always keeping the kite left or always right, it'll probably end up with the figure 8 leaning on about a 45deg angle. This will teach you to keep the pull constantly in one direction when you finally get on a buggy. You'll also want to get used to flying the kite blind, that's flying the kite without looking at it. When no one's around, try looking at something on the ground or in the distance for a bit at a time until you can fly the kite just by feel. Lastly, If you want to buggy, practice flying the kite sitting down, if you're into ATB, then stand up without moving your feet. You don't always have the option of taking a step back when in the bug or ATB.

You can learn most of the basics with a 2m kite no problem, but I suspect unless you live in a wind tunnel you'll eventually need to get something in the 3-4m range to really get going in the buggy.

If you give us some more info, we can offer more advice.
