Hey!
I was referred here and am still a huge noob. I would love to start to learn a bit more and get more proactive with my trainer kite. I have a 3m HQ Rush pro V and a 1.5m 2-string kite to play with. It also would be nice to meet people that are also interested in kiteboarding too. I'm pretty reclusive so this is a big step for me lol. I can bring some beers or other drinks as compensation for your time, whatever you prefer.

Its Coyote Point in SF Bay Area. :]

(I have read many resources on the basics and I have used my 1.5m kite a few times)

I owned a trainer kite for more than four years before I started kiting not knowing it was a kiteboarding prerequisite. As such, I say just go fly your kite when the wind blows and learn to do as much as you can with it... I can "box the sky" with my kites.

Most schools I have observed don't spend more than an hour on a trainer kite before moving to LEI's so trainer kite mastery is not going to have much of an impact on your kite skills as you progress with formal kite boarding lessons going forward... You will spend less time on a trainer kite and more time on an LEI during your lesson plan.
