Today's lesson focused on the water start and I GOT UP! I rode short distances, like 10-15 feet, then crashed. It was an amazing feeling. I feel the stoke you all are talking about!
I had a rough start to kiting and almost gave up a few weeks ago:

Re: First ride today!!!
Congrats! You are now in the most exciting point in kiteboarding, where every session you will learn something new and advance ... and at the end of each session you will say "that was the BEST DAY EVER!" and mean it. We call them BDE's in my group of friends. 
The stoke overfloweth, woo hoo!
