45 , Had a few doubts when I first started ,Surfing and Rob Gannon helped me out . addicted now .
A twist 
If you didnt know how old you were ...
How old would you be ?
That is the true question 
I was a 17yo young'n on holiday over on the gold coast who was sick of windsurfing and wanted to burn a really big hole in his pocket with a new sport.
kitesurfing was the only answer...
I was 33 - this was the perfect age for me as I had done a lot of the other sports (including wind surfing) and needed something new.
Kitesurfing has made the last 9 years so much more enjoyable.
Still having great seshions to, two great kites in the last two days.
Stoked
13... for me its a lucky number
just a small observation but there seems to be alot more older guys in the sport... i am curious as to why that is
my theory is that thier the only ones who can afford the lessons and gear
thoughts?
Lessons at 29, bought my first setup as a 30th birthday present to myself.
Started sailing when I was 11, Snowboarding when I was 25.
Kiting was a good water sport alternative for over buying a boat - don't need a shed or a shed load of money. Also, living in London at the time it was an awesome portable sport that gave me justification to travel all over the place (like I needed it)
Just got into it @ 30......I wanted to wakeboard but didn't want to fork out for a boat
40 got kite gear from wife for birthday pressy (cool hey) didnt know weather she bought it to kill me or too have fun with it i am still here so first theroy has back fired and i am still going after 1 year . Should have done it when i was 18 or so
29. Been kiting for nearly a year now 
edited to say: or attempting to kite for nearly a year now. Actually properly kiting for maybe a few months 
33. After the millennium in Cape town where i spent a fair amount of time being dragged around by 2m foil. Had no other option than to buy one a teach myself. No instructors back then
