Default Want to learn in Lower Keys...any advice?

Hi guys. I've recently become interested in kite surfing, and from what I've read on here it looks like the Lower Keys would be a decent place to learn. I planned to take a flats boat out into the Bay with one of my friends that also wants to learn. Is that a good plan?

Any suggestions of what gear I should start with to learn on in this area? Should I buy a trainer kite first, or just start out in the water with a real kite? How long does it typically take to learn to kite surf?

Also, I've never used one of these kites before, and I am unclear if it is possible to go into the wind with it, like to basically end up where you started, or do you just have to swim/walk back?

Thanks
Ek
