What gears should a kitesurfer buy first?

I’m getting more and more addicted to kitesurfing and I’ll like to start buying my own gear. In what order should someone fairly new to kitesurfing purchase? I travel internationally fairly often, and I’ll look to kitesurf wherever I am able to do so. Given I’ll likely kitesurf in very different wind and weather conditions, I prefer to rent the kites and wetsuits locally. Is there a list of common items a kitesurfer should purchase? I was thinking something in the order of:
1. Life / impact vest
2. Harness
3. Helmet
4. Bar
5. Board
Would you more experienced kitesurfers recommend otherwise? And what waist harness would be suitable for a fairly new kitesurfer? I’m flexible on price, but would like something of quality and safety. Thanks!
