I've taken a few lessons so far in which I learned to handle the kite on land and body drag. One of the reasons I tried it was because I heard it was easier than regular surfing and wouldn't take as much time to be able to ride along the water. I enjoyed riding whitewater saves as a beginner surfer, but didn't like the paddling and waiting for waves, so I tried out kitesurfing. I stopped kitesurfing when I learned how to put on the board in the water
I'm not sure if I should continue with lessons or to quit the sport entirely. Although kitesurfing looked fun, I didn't like how so much time was spent walking in and out of the water and walking away from the crowds, and learning to handle the kite and set it up wasn't that fun
I heard that taking jetski-assisted lessons could help with saving time from walking out of the water, so maybe kitesurfing will be more fun if I try it at a better location with better winds and is less crowded?
Or maybe I'm better off sticking to other water sports like wakeboarding/water skiing/windsurfing that don't require so much time before being able to ride along the water and have fun?
