David,
 
If you want to learn to kite in Chicago and can't go to Corpus or Hatteras this Spring I'd suggest getting a small foil kite and a mountain board and learning on the beach at Montrose before the guards arrive.  You definitely need some sort of helmet to do this and a kite harness.   Riding a mountain board on the beach closely approximates riding on the water with easier recovery as you just step back on the board rather than having to swim after it.  
 
Call me if you want to discuss this...  312.919.7566 
 
Regards,
Tim
