Was just in Bali, and the guys from Bali Kitesurfing school really took care of us. My missus had a lesson about a year ago, and after a couple more hours of instruction she was up on the board.

The instructor rides in a boat (With a driver) behind the student so they are always close by, and when you get too far down wind, jump in the boat and cruise back to the top of the lagoon and go again – nice.

Thanks also to Jankie form Kite and Surf Bali, for the local info.
And on top of that we got some good wind too, the gusts were hitting over 25 knots on Sunday arvo!
