So good all these 'tutorials' say to watch other peoples videos. Not selfish and understand they may have missed something another YouTube hasn't.

Thanks, Blake! I really appreciate your time in making these videos! Helpful for folks getting in to the sport, even if they are getting formal instruction.

Good tutorial. Right accents on everything. One thing that helped me was to loose booties and get my feet dipper into the straps.

A great video, maybe the greatest video about kitesurf that i have ever seen

[nicholasnelson]

Love the video. I had an easy time getting my first water start because I used to wake board a lot and the techniques for me were very similar to get going. Idk if this well help anyone but try wake boarding if you can to get some riding practice

I'm learning alone here in Kansas in cold water and I finally got up on the board but as the kite leaves the power zone after sending it it doesn't pull me anymore and I sink! I was trying to aim halfway between directly cross wind and where the kite was at the edge of the window down low.. I went from "Hell YEAH!" to "ahh crap" in 5 seconds lol
I dono if I let it stay too low or I'm riding too much twards it. 🤔 I did it over and over but always get a real big burst of power and feels perfect for a couple seconds then.. blaaa.. down I go..
