Best investment by far - my private lessons. They keep paying off every time I gear up and get in the water. ;)

After that would be year-old closeouts on Cab Omega and Convert kites. Decent brand new kites for cheap.

Investing in Kiteboarding
What I've received is impossable to put a number on, I've smiled about a million times, made hundreds of friends, traveled high and low around the globe doing what I absoulutly love to do with people I' like so much I'd lay my life down to assist 99.9% of them..... (sorry Andy!)

What I've paid for this amount of joy is also impossable to put a finger on... The loss of work hours alone equals hundreds of thousands of lost dollars and thats no bullshit!.. The costs are HIGH, but, it's worth it.

Kiting sends my soul flying-

The Progression DVD collection. 2009 was my first full season, and I re-watched these things constantly. Everytime I attempted a toeside turn, a backroll, etc., the cheesy music and the guy with the english accent was the soundtrack in my head.

slingshot glide i bought used a couple years back. Converted it into a skimboard, and I still have fun on those light wind sessions

best kiting investment would have to be my wife. there is no better feeling than being on the water with her. Also no better feeling being off the water with her afterward as well.

With a kiting wife, share the quiver, and you get twice as many cool toys. And- no bitching when you want a session, she goes with or lets you go without gilt.
