That is the riding spot

There are some schools and prices vary depending on how many hours of training you want.

Paul Menta is the guy who teaches and knows everyone. He is a very cool guy. Shoot him an email and he can give you the scoop and the hookup on lessons.

This is his page http://kste.net/

I think you can catch him at info@thekitehouse.com as he also runs www.thekitehouse.com

Also hit up www.kiteforum.com and ask around there.

yeah, learning to ride is the easy part. all you have to do is learn to fly the kite and wakeboard behind it. Learning to fly is easy. The hard part is knowing where to ride and what gear to put up (you use different kites for different wind speeds). So, You will definately be riding in 4 hours, but the instructor taking you to the right place and rigging you on the right gear is what makes it possible. i wouldnt say you could "do it on your own", but with the instructor there to get you going you will be very independent on the water.
