You need hands on instruction in kiteboarding from a good instructor. Would you go hang gliding if someone simply showed you how to setup your glider? Cliff launch is easy you just run and fall, right? Kiting is similar, take adequate quality pro lessons. It seems far easier than it is in reality. Checkout:

Lots of guys have been badly hurt who thought they could figure it out on their own, myself included years back.

Yeah. I agree. We are definitely a friendly group of guys/gals, that's why we don't want to see you get hurt (possibly badly). A lesson is a very good idea.
