David,

Better yet, go to South Padre Island, TX. It is warmer than
Hatteras. The water is shallow for miles; the water is flat; the
wind is smooth; the beach is wide and uncrowded. You can't get into
much trouble because you can wade into shore even if you are out 1/4
mile from shore. By far, the best place I have seen to learn how to
kite board. The local guy, Cliff at South Padre Island is an
excellent instructor, patient and very knowledgeable.

I went there a few weeks ago and I wore a shorty wetsuit the whole
time. If you go in April, you will have an excellent time and you
will have a headstart for the summer.

By the way, I am just a rider, not an instructor like Matt.

Kenny
