Ozoned:
our holidays have always been:
1 week looking at orangutans/crocodiles/chimpanzees/wombats/etc etc etc (for her).
1 week in the salt water (for him).
tanzania gets a tick for chimps (her), and a tick for beautiful lagoon kiting (me).
it was after seeing pics of huge wide open waist deep aqua water reef fringed lagoons that she first said 'see, if thats what it was like, then i would have a go at this kiting'.
and so the ball started rolling...
cheers for the tips though.
Cool, should be good.
This is where we stayed in Paje.

There was a silver lining, the tide came up and waves really jacked up so it turned out waiting was a good thing in the end,,, worked out,,,this time!!

It'd be great if my non kiting boyfriend was keen to try it.....on the other hand it's nice to have someone to take photos and help carry all of my kites after a session
After only 2 sessions this season (work and 4 children) my only hope is if my kids take up kitesurfing. Fingers crossed !
wasn't about male or female.. i don't know too many kiters that have learn't in the ocean without crashing...standard procedure for most kiting lessons is in flat water ..anyone that learns in the ocean without ever crashing is an absolute champ...i don't know how many hours/beers/cartons i spent untangling birds nests after crashing in the ocean and swimming like grant hackett!! you're one lucky fella bobjaan
like the avatar djdojo!!!
Hey Bobjaan cheers for the credit but if truth be know I have had my fair share of kite ditches, long walk of shames and birds nests 
and you have come to my rescue a few times like a knight in white boardies 
I can totally relate to Puetz comment about partner hogging the kite size you want!!!!! wasn't so bad when i started out on c kites, if I hung on the wind and waves unleashed a whole can of whooop ass on me, but now the kites got such big wind range once im on the water there is no coming back!!! Sorry Bobjaan gotta pick your size right first time! [}:)]
Just two more comments:
1.. pls those guys out there in WA if ya got a lovey sporty lady at home please get them fired up and on the water, I love hanging out with the guys aswell but seriously need some balance in our little tribe...
and lastly
2. CAUTION - teaching your partner - male or female in my experience not a great idea...I really not sure why I feel ok losing my 'balls' in front of my partner and telling him very politely of course...to "go put a rather large object where the sun doesn't shine and find ya own way home" yet in front of the "lovely tanned and fit South American kite instructor" I am a model student!!!!!
Just joshing Bobjaan...stoked to have had ya as my teacher and even more stoked we get to run around like idiots doing the sports we love
Enjoy
