Thanks! Learning to ride switch was definitely challenging at first. It took a lot of practice, but it’s getting better! How was it for you? 😊

@@KitesurfingBeginner I've had a couple of lessons, but haven't really gone any distance switch. My lessons came with jetski support so I got comfortable taking off in one direction with a jetski following me. I could ride (in a 7 mile lagoon) till I was tired then ride back to the beach on the jetski. It was a convenient way to get some first rides but in retrospect not the best way to practice switch riding skills. I'm going to a kiting location next week and my lack of switch riding skills will present a challenge. On my channel there is a video titled 'My First Sustained Ride' if you want to see what my lessons were like. Keep up the great work!

It’s great that you had jet ski support for your early lessons! I watched your video and it looks like your favorite stance is with your left foot forward. I’m sure with more practice, your switch riding will improve. Thanks for the support and keep it up!

@@KitesurfingBeginner thanks. I'm going to Cabarete in the Dominican Republic tomorrow to meet up with friends. It's a world class kiting beach. I'm thinking about taking some lessons, but it's a bit scary for beginners there. Tons of high level kiters flying around everywhere! Thanks for the encouragement!

Hey bro! I’m using just the helmet and the Insta360 one x2, no stick. Glad you like the angle! It works great for Instagram too. 😎

Thanks! I used an Insta360 One X2 with a wrist band mount. 🎥

@@KitesurfingBeginner Thank you!

Thanks! I’m excited to get my first jump too. I’ll definitely @ you when I post the video so you can show your friends! 😎

Thanks! I’ve been kiting for about two years now.

Thanks for the support! Keep at it, we all start somewhere. What are you working on right now?

the changes of direction… I still stick my butt in the water! 😂

Thank You Niklas! 😎

🔥🔥🔥

With my Insta360 mounted on the helmet! 🎥

Thanks so much for the support! The spot in this video is Punta Trettu in Sardinia. It’s an amazing place for kitesurfing. Hope you can visit someday! 😎

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely consider uploading unedited footage. It’s great to hear my videos are helping you. Keep pushing your limits out there! 💪

The blue filter helps to enhance the water’s color and makes the footage look more vibrant. Do you think it works well?

​@@KitesurfingBeginner Nah, there are enough bora bora videos 😁 I watch your content for the skill level and see what works and what doesn't. The falls are really valuable to compare to other moments in the video to spot the difference and why it happened.

@@KitesurfingBeginner i like the filter, makes it easier on the eyes.

@@mouse2542 Thank You! 😁

Thanks! The flat water spots are really great. What’s your favorite place to ride in the Netherlands? 🏄‍♂️

@@KitesurfingBeginner my home spot would be schellinkhout and or medemblik depending on the wind, but both spots have very choppy water. and basically the entire western sea shore can be great, with longer waves. but it's hard to predict the winds here.

Thanks for the recommendation! Parrachos de Perobas sounds amazing. I’ll definitely add it to my list of spots to visit! What’s your favorite thing about kiting there?

Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed it 💪

Thx bro 😎

Hell yea dude!! Lookin for a new kite myself and be back out there.

Thx bro 😎

Thank You so much for your support! 😎🤝

Thank You so much for your support! Never give up! 💪

Thank You very much! 🤝💪

Yes, it is! 😁

Thank You! It’s the Insta360 One x2 mounted with a wrist band wrapped around 2 helmet holes!

It’s a 13,5 meters RRD Passion Y24!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and its poetic aspect. You’re right, it’s not a comprehensive history of kitesurfing, but rather a celebration of the beauty and excitement our sport brings. Thanks again for watching and sharing your thoughts!

It’s near Barricata beach in the northern east Italy!

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your support and glad you’re enjoying the journey with me! 🙌

Why?

@@KitesurfingBeginner i always do while surfing

Ahahaha lol 😂

try and stay level on top of your board ( a bit more upright) during the jumps instead of leaning back which will make you land badly. But love the channel!

@@alexianfn9283 Thank you very much for the advice! Actually, I had never thought about it! Next time I’ll try to lean back less 🙏💪

Maybe with a downloop! 😃 Ok, it will be the next trick I’ll try to learn!

@@KitesurfingBeginner nice one, especially when people are overtaking you this close or that close behind you, good way to escape those tailgaters 😬

@@ArinGhend It's definitely very effective! 😁

Thank You! It’s Barricata beach! 🏄‍♂️

Thank you! To mount the camera, I use a wrist mount and thread it through the helmet’s holes. It’s quite sturdy and holds up well even during the most intense sessions!

Thanks for following along! Right now, I’m focused on getting better at riding upwind on my weaker side and learning how to jump. What about you? Any goals you’re working on?

@@KitesurfingBeginner Thats great! Looks like you've great progress so far. I'm at the infamous waterstart with short uncontrolled rides - stage. But Ive just recently bought my own gear after 10ish hours of lessons.

That’s awesome! Getting your own gear is a big step. Keep practicing those waterstarts, and soon you’ll be cruising with full control. Enjoy the journey! 🏄‍♂️

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I’ll keep pushing forward!

Thanks! Keep at it, consistency will come with practice. You’ve got the determination, so you’ll definitely nail it this season! 💪

It’s Barricata Kite Spot, in the northern east Italy!

@@KitesurfingBeginner thanks mate

You’re welcome!

Sounds like you’re making progress! It’s great that you’ve got the safety basics! Keep practicing and enjoy the journey! 💪

It’s a 13,5 meters RRD Passion!

Grazie mille! ☺️ Ci metterò tutto l’impegno possibile per continuare a migliorare. Buon vento anche a te!

Thanks! Wind conditions were great, about 16 knots steady. Glad you’re enjoying the progress! Bye! 😊

Thanks! It’s been a journey! Took me around 10 sessions after finishing my course to reach this level, but loving every moment of progress!

Thanks for the tip! I'll work on keeping my hands closer together next time. Happy kiting! 🏄‍♂️😃

Thanks! You’ll get there too, just keep at it and enjoy the journey!
