Local advice needed: learning to kitesurf, best spot from Bath/Bristol?

Thinking about booking kitesurfing lessons at Porthcawl this summer, but before I commit I'd like local knowledge.

Where's actually best to learn from round here? And once you're up and riding, where do people go regularly? Weston, Porthcawl, further afield?

Any clubs or group chats that call sessions when the wind's on would be good to know about too. Cheers.
