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.

Why do you repeat everything for both sides?

[lifeoftopher]

Hey nice video, do you want those wing foil clips for foot swaps

[jaggillarintefisk]

What happens if you pull both sides all the way back? More power?
