Hi,

I am hoping to get into the sport. I have contacted a few local companies regarding lessons and took the opportunity to also ask them about gear costs. Most of them quoted something between $2500-$3000. For instance, one of them quoted the following items:

North dice kite 13m, 2017
North quad bar 24m, 2017.
North X Ride 2017
North entity foot straps
Manera harness
Total is around $3100

However, I wanted to ask what items are recommended to buy as new and what items do you suggest I buy as used? I don't intent to spend over $3000, so I was thinking of saving money with an used board, but I don't know what are the recommendations on used gear. Also, if you guys have any recommendations on gear recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
