This isn’t a video about kitesurfing. It’s a video about a video about kitesurfing

Spent two days having lessons, and it was great. Just getting up and going now.

The DVD was really useful. Thanks

Most of us older Kiters grew up on Progressions videos, I hope they can be downloaded these days as they really are inspiring and save a lot of crashes!

Nothing is EASY for everyone. One persons ease is another persons difficulty.

Cant wait to start learning in Dublin.

[progressionsports]

Not yet, we have the translations done and will be doing it this summer along with several other languages.

flyfalcon91 - If you have the board skills then you will find getting up on the board and progressing towards intermediate level will be much easier. Learning how to fly a kite however is just as important, particularly as a beginner as it can be fatal to put up a 10m kite and not know how to control it. As good as our DVD is we still recommend 1 or 2 days of lessons to learn those key kite skills, bringing you up to to the waterstart. Practising with power kites nearer home would also be good.

This is a great DVD. I highly recommend it, especially for those about to take lessons. It helps a lot with what to expect from a course and introduces you to lots of new kite jargon and procedure. And after the course it can help fill in any blanks. Enjoy

Going to buy the DVD to watch soon, but would you say that Easter in the UK (At Bournemouth/Poole) is a good time to take a day of lessons to get started.

[I already windsurf and can fly a land power kite so know a bit about the power zone etc, so could I do just one day of lessons to get me on the water with my own kitesurfing kit?]

So is this dvd good for a complete noob, who has had 1 instructed lesson and has all their own gear ready to go out and self learn, i dont want to take another kite lesson due to how darn expensive the lessons are ive been studying youtube alot on kite boarding and feel confident enough to get out and try it solo i grew up flying stunt kites as a kid into my teens so that helped me with the first lesson i even got upto single hand control down and upwind body dragging.

Where can we watch the whole dvd on YouTube or is only by purchase?

@luiscarlosrubino This is the first chapter from our Progression Kiteboarding Beginner DVD and it is the best selling kitesurfing DVD worldwide so confused as to what you were expecting to see?

[progressionsports]

@TheMissionkill Easter is a great time to learn, assuming we get some good wind! Then you'll have all spring and summer to get the basics mastered and there is no reason by the end if the summer you'll be riding around, staying upwind and even learn to jump. As always just depends on getting the right conditions.

As far as lessons go, one day maybe enough but listen to your instructor - trying to cut your lessons short will only result you struggling on your own for days or weeks.

Have fun :)

Did I just watch a 8 minute trailer for a dvd?

[progressionsports]

I also don't think it demerits the sport, or the accomplishments of those within it, to say its "easy" and for "everyone". If you kite at the right beach, with constant gentle wind, flat water & the correct equipment then most person of average fitness can cruise back and forward and enjoy themselves.

But if you kite in strong, gusty winds, waves, current, places with small beaches and difficult launches, attempt to push yourself to try different tricks then its not "easy" just a lot of fun ;-)

im new on kite surfing, what kite is the best for me, i spoke with some people, they say what F-one or slightshot rally is the best, is it true?

[progressionsports]

thecerry888 - Get out there and give it a go! Kitesurfing is not as hard as you think and is one of the most inspiring, rewarding and addictive action sports out there. And of course, with a little help from Progression, you will up and riding in no time....

[E-skFr]

you should release new dvd with new teaching techniques, 3D filming & so; that would be awesome and really great for learning; Your videos are getting quite old, they are great but a new release would be good :D

[progressionsports]

Its actually a piece of stock music so it doesn't have a name and its not available for purchase anywhere. Sorry.

[progressionsports]

@kcorfield1 lessons with a school are definitely important for any beginner in the sport. Used alongside our DVD guides you can ensure you will learn faster and more safely too. Thanks for the good feedback :-)
