Sorry to bring this up but I would encourage absolute beginners not to go out at Brighton Beach. There are submerged reefs and rocks both sides, strong undercurrents, and little space for errors. To kitesurf there, you must be able to go upwind and otherwise have a fair levels of skills, especially in the onshores (westerlies).
Today my kite got tangled by an absolute beginner who just steered his kite the wrong way as he attempted to start from shore. We got out of it really lucky, but it was a potentially dangerous situation. The German Kitesurfing champion Silke Gorldt died during a kiting contest in 2002, after being slammed into onshore obstacles by her and another kite that had gotten tangled into hers. Others, two.
Sorry for yelling at you there buddy but that situation was entirely unnecessary and avoidable. Apart from that, very happy for everyone who is entering the sport.
