I'm lacking my board and Helmet( girlfriend wants me to wear one HAHA). I got my kite used (by recemundation from AIRUSHKITBOARDING.com.) Got everything else from zombiekites.com. I told these companies I would pass along their names. I keep trying to "win" a board on ebay, but I think I'll just buy one from sun and ski sports (keep the money in oklahoma). I think this weekend I will head out to a lake or very soft field to get the "feel" of how this all goes. I also bought two dvds and found them very helpful, also kinda scary. I know of no one in oklahoma that gives lessons, I seem to always miss the guys at lake Hefner. I'll post something after this weekend, If i'm not in the hospital haha.
