    I had two lessons and was thinking of giving up because I just could not control this thing, and my instructor wants me to bodydrag in my next lesson. Thank you

    you should make a video on how to save another kitesurfers board from drifting away. Have been in several situations, where someone has lost a board from crashing and I don't have the right technique for picking up the board while kitesurfing.

      Hi Laurits, that is an important skill. I recently made a tutorial about exactly that: czcams.com/video/AfPTtB6mX_M/video.html

      Yes. Remote cut the line. Set the person free.

    Nice video. Ive been wakeboarding all my life and no way and i wasting time paying for lessons. Watching this in the airport. Pretty sure i got it. Will find out tomorrow

    • @kitesurfcollege
      @kitesurfcollege  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hi, wakeboarding skill won't help you fly a kite - it may even make you slightly worse at it. If you're not taking lessons start with a 1 or 2m2 kite in very little wind far, far away from any people or hazards. Have a look at this for more info: czcams.com/video/OHik20MImDc/video.html

      Hello PAX I'll add the link for becoming a channel member.
      czcams.com/channels/2AvhQhxmgRpM32IYE5qkOA.htmljoin
      Also on my channel home page there should be a JOIN button near the top.
      If that doesn't work there are unfortunately a few countries where the memberships system is not yet available. Where are you based?

      I would also like to buy kite surfing gear cause I'm literally clueless. Do you have any recommendations?

      @@pax263 no problem, I don't have a shop but I'm happy to advise. How heavy are you and do you have anything you specifically want to get out of kiting (riding waves, jumping etc)?
