I shredded my new 12m on my 1st day in mexico , I didn't take lessons.
when you ready to take lessons , kite a lot after or you will forgot a lot n they are $$$.so you will need gear. dependly your weight, you will need your main bread n potato kite n board. for many people it is a 9m. some 8, some 10s. Base on 9m is your main kite,light winds a 12m ish is nice. wind get powered n 7m ish is sweet.1 board wise id go twin tip n Not a beginner one, 134 to 137cm by around 40 wide, single concave ,fairly flat so when wind back off you still have power. Jimmy lewis base designs from 2005 is still sweet in my opinion. harnest , a seat one is nice when you begin n easier on back. I now rode waist one as in waves you can turn better , the harnest ponting to kite n you forward. n take lessons n go as much as you can.
