Hey all, I am looking to start getting into Kiteboarding here in Okinawa, I am currently on Camp Foster, and would love to get a group together this weekend and go out and tear it up and really start to look into getting serious about this. If anyone out there wants to get together or knows a good place to get rental gear let me know. andrew.jay.dibble@gmail.com or 080-4320-2578. Drew

Drew,

Welcome to a great and very addicting sport!
Have you taken a lesson yet? If not, it's really hard to do this without one. That, and, there are no rental shops. By doing the lesson you will get good quality instruction from someone who has lots of experience (teaching and riding) as well as the use of equipment.

Good luck. There are two shops that do lessons here: Kiteclub (Japanese group) and Patriotkites --check out at patriotkites.com.
