I have spent more time boddy dragging and kite flying then I have on the board, I self launch and land 75% of the time. So, I have put in my time there, I am hopping to hit desoto one weekend when the winds are favorable. I will agree that lesson are the best way and are the only way for some people, I also realize that I would have progressed faster with lessons, however that is not the path I took, I was just saying that all noobs are not bad and I have seen many who have had lessons mess up on the concepts I discussed in my post, I just hope noobs with or without lessons will read that post and think twice about being an idiot.
Just a note - I support the taking of lessons, it is by far the best way and I would not recommend taking my path unless you have a close friend who is willing to sacrifice ride time to spend ample time showing you the ropes and getting you started. Also only if they are a truly experienced kiter or instructer. Not a 1 hour lecture giving you a kite.
