Getting started and learning kitesurfing is not really difficult. In kitesurf, the progression is very fast and the pleasure almost immediate, if you practice in good conditions. Often you may come across spots with youngsters aged 8-10 or grandparents over 70 years old. Girls especially should not be frightened by their lack of muscles: with an adapted wing, practically everyone is able to practice.
And it is not really the arms that force, but rather the whole body, because you are above all hooked by your harness. Moreover, the abs work a lot and it is not uncommon to have aches after a long session. Kitesurfing is more a sport of endurance: the effort is not necessarily very intense but on the other hand it is long and makes work the whole body.
It is therefore essential to take private kitesurfing courses from a qualified professional, to at least see all the security bases. You will be able to learn a lot by yourself, but this will never replace a course with a kite teacher. In addition, the schools have a lot of gear which will allow you to start with a wing perfectly adapted to the conditions of the spot.
