I spent a lot of time on the beach flying my kite and learning kite control and skills to ensure when I actually started trying to go on the water, I already had a great feel for flying the kite itself. 90% of kite surfing is flying the kite itself. Take the time to practice :)

Very helpful video. I've been wanting to kitesurf since I was in the army at 19, but I'm finally going to get going this year... at 35.

1. Walking the beach side to side along with the kite sitting on 45 degree (one hand)
2. Back-stalling -> release the back lines (practice stalling and releasing)
3. Water start on the sand (on nice clear sandy beach): sit down - get ready - dive the kite - get up

Youtube is a great resource. You can get top tips from great athletes right from your chair. Great way to get free lessons before you even go for your first real lesson.

Mate, this is very inspiring and a great set of tips. Appreciate taking personal time off to make the videos. Good Work

Hey man, I've been kiting for around 5 years and still find useful things to take on in all your videos....you've helped fill in a lot of gaps in my knowledge and it's great to get the clear explanations and the visual model of how to do something properly.

Yes sir thank you i’ve been watching your videos ever since I found you on YouTube man and I’ve learned so so much you’re so informative. I’ve looked at probably hundreds of different videos on learning how to kite surfing and this and that and none of them are as thorough as yours so thank you very much.❤❤

[alexwhiskey]

Fantastic tutorials! Learning more than lessons I had with local instructors... Nicely done!

[KevinKevin-qwvk]

Great video. Been kiting for 13 years but still enjoyed watching this. Unbelievable looking beach, no one else around.

[trevorstieger]

I can listen to this guy all day and I don't mean in a weird way. Explains so nicely.

[paraglide]

Thanks for the tips. I tried kitesurfing 5 years ago but got really frustrated at al those failed waterstarts and then quit. Might give that beachstart a try next summer, see if I can practice this a lot on land.

[MandrilSolo]

Man ... you explain every step so easily, thinking of going back to the sport because of you !,
Cheers brother... from Nashville Tennessee!!!

[NYFL]

These field /beach exercises are tremendously helpful. Thank you.

[davidmcmillan]

Superb tuition. I especially love the advice to practise water-starts on dry land, judging exactly how much pull it's going to take to get you up - as you take a "bite" out of the wind window and then park it again - without having to cope initially with being tossed about in the ocean, swallowing mouthfuls of salt water. Thanks so much.

Luke, thanks for the video. It is very fun to watch. You brings such a great energy. Great tips. It is so overwhelming for beginners to handle so many things.

[tristan]

I've seen people kite surfing all the time on the beach and it looks so intimidating, this makes it seem very approachable, going to buy my first set and give it a go!

[BryanPike]

Top marks Luke! All about that muscle memory before getting on the water.

[marcelosalussolia]

You are a great teacher mate ! Thanks for that buddy! 🍻

[shamshulakhani]

I’m a newbie to kite surfing. You gave me confidence to get started. Thanks brother..
