Hey everyone my name is luigi. I am very new to kite boarding ( flew a trainer for 2 months, have had one water lesson at alameda). If anyone is interested in hanging with a rookie and showing me the ropes I am way in, I just got all my new gear and am ready to start ripping some mean body dragging. I live in SF on the embarcadero and have a car so I am always down for a trek!

In case noone else has told you, you definitely want to wait until spring before trying out any bodydragging in the SF Bay area.
We'd like to keep "bodydragging" a positive term, totally unrelated to, say, "dragging the bay for a body".
As in: "Today the Coast Guard was dragging the bottom of SF Bay looking for the body of a novice kiteboarder who succumbed to hypothermia before rescuers could reach him after his kite crashed into the water". :mrgreen:
Keep in mind that all the posters here who are discussing kiting this time of year are experienced riders with a full knowledge of the special precautions that need to be taken when kiting in the winter.

Hey,
you should wait till it gets warmer; then maybe more people will be up to it =D
if you've only taken one water lesson, you should consider taking another ( with the company you started with ); it would be safer in case something happens to you out there.
I'll be at alameda in march when the early winds kick in, so i wouldn't mind giving you some tips.
cheers,
ella
