Hey guys n gals - I'm based in Brisbane, been thinking of getting into kitesurfing. I'm totally new to the sport, so I'd love some advice on the following: How much should I expect to spend to get started (lessons + gear + other costs)? - Are formal lessons needed (or strongly recommended) around Brisbane / SE QLD? If so, any recommended schools/instructors? - What gear should I buy (kite size, board type, harness, wet-suit, etc) and what sort of budget should I set for that? - Where are good beginner-friendly spots around Brisbane (or QLD) with reliable wind, shallow water or safe conditions? - What are the main risks / things I should be aware of as a complete beginner (safety, right-of-way rules, weather/wind, gear maintenance)? - Are there any hidden/ongoing costs (insurance, travel to spots, gear repair, etc)? Appreciate any insights. Cheers
