So, ask around to find such a place where you'll be taught the processes involved in landing and launching the kite as well as all the precautions and safety features to be kept in mind. As a next step, get a trainer kite to practice. This will enable you to catch on faster. Safety is of prime importance here and thankfully today, we have sophisticated gear which are tried and tested to ensure maximum security to the user.

Ask around locally to know which is the best place to enroll and gain skills on landing, launching etc. and much later you might even be taught certain tricks on the board which you can practice. The school will also teach you all the safety essentials. It's also advisable to make your initial attempts with a trainer kite which would enable the learning process easier. But before trying out kite surfing, can you at least fly a kite? Now is the time to learn if you don't know already.
