Learning How to KITESURF in 7 Days (+15 Tips a Beginner Should Know)

Показать описание

📺Tayo started his challenge of learning how to kitesurf in 7 days. In this video, he presents his progression and how he reached his goal. He also shares his own experience offering 15 tips and tricks a beginner should know. This video can be used by beginners in addition to all available resources on YouTube. Perhaps you can learn from the mistakes he has made, and he can motivate you to start something you always wanted to do.

Our Pushmentee has a board- and water sport background with experiences in sailing Optimist Xylon, 420, 470 and Hobie Cat 16, wave surfing, skate- and snowboarding. He also loves being out in nature, especially as an engineer working most of the time in front of the computer. Finding his work-life balance is important for him.

He was always impressed by the freedom of the sport as well as its maneuvers, tricks and unlimited possibilities to improve and keep pushing personal boundaries. The sky is (not) the limit! As he enjoys traveling he can actually travel with kite gear easily, and that is indeed a big advantage compared to all the other water sports he did before.

Why now?
For him, there was always an excuse whether it was the money, the weather, time, respect or fear of handling harsh north sea conditions with tides, currents and strong winds. He always had a reason not to go for it. Now as he turned 34, he felt that time is running even faster, financial limits are not an argument anymore and the weather at the North Sea shore close to his home is reliable in terms of wind. Not trying it out would be a bigger regret. Finally, he decided to learn how to kitesurf.

Tip when learning to kite board is to chose a spot where there is shallow waters and not many waves because when you will have to learn how to body drag the waves will make it harder

FortniteAII

That's like one of the best videos a beginner could find

Excellent video! What an awesome progression series. Much faster than most. The fact that you ride both directions and learned transitions says it all!!! Way to go!

You definitely have some water/athletic skills, and your instructors appear to be top notch!
Your video has inspired me to get back on the water and continue my progression. I have about 15 hours of lesson time, but spread out over a couple of years. 🤙🏼👍🏼

Big hug from 🇧🇷🤙🌬️ Matteo

Get in shape, so true. Im 6 hrs into lessons over several days. At 51 im out of shape, sigh. The walking in the water for long distance wears you out.

pensionandapassport

Great video, I feel like there's not a lot of "behind the scenes" for lessons, this should help a lot of new riders! I. hope you keep making kite videos!

erbartlett

I learnt in 4 1 hour lessons. Its not difficult. I found understanding the dynamics of KS, wind, board and balance when launching is key. Also watch all the great youtube videos how to KS like this one helps a lot.

jonathanhague

Wow it took me ages to learn like 6 months - so well done!

coderedex

Choppy conditions Looks pretty flat to me, you need to sail on our beach Great video though, you have the perfect training ground 🤙🤙

keendnb

Good video. Thanks. I think kite surfing is better for UK than surfing. I'm hoping to build a campervan and may try this sport on weekends, May to September. Found a school in home town waters, Portsmouth/Hayling Island.

PompeyBoy

Duuuude riding both ways after 2 lessons! Everyone I know took 4-7 lessons to do that. (Some with zero experience of board sports though.)

kcm

How we should learn / teach kiteboarding ! Congrats

farouba

Good tips. I took 3 days of lessons last month in OBX with no experience in boarding. Great 7 days for you.

KevinNichols

I started kiteboarding 4 weeks ago. I'm working on my waterstarts and i am able to kite 20-30 metres. I'm still a beginner and find myself back to this video once or twice a week. It really feels like you're not on your own on your journey. Keep putting in the hours and stop comparing yourself to others will be my tips. Nevertheless great video! (You also kite in the Netherlands?)
