New here and new to sport, would appreciate some help please?  I'm 45 year old guy, about 6'4" and about 90kg.  Have snow & water ski'd & wakeboarded & paraglided a lot in my life so optimistic I might be able to do this.  Will be starting this XMas at StFrancis but I live in Paarl.  Hoping this will get me into shape again, hate gyms.

What kit do I start with and what questions do I need to ask?  Seems like one large and one small kite, probably a large board for beginner.  Do a 9sqm & 12sqm sound right for kites but what length board?

Have seen advertised products on internet, thought I'd buy used starter kit and if I'm reasonably competent I can then go on a binge...
