Hatteras is great for this, all wind directions, lots of beach to learn on.

Well done step by step intro. You made things look less intimidating than I imagined. I’m feeling the fever now!

This is a very good video showing the OR inflatable trainer kite - great job! We also have a trainer kite video on Youtube which shows how to fly a 2 line foil trainer and goes over the wind window. Remember to take lessons!

Very useful to watch :) buying a trainer kite and practising before you have your lessons is a huge hack to learn Kitesurfing faster.

Fantastic video for beginners. no fuss. nothing wrong with the soundtrack.

I've never done kiteboarding in my life but this is definitely a very thorough video.

Brilliant - very nicely done! Hey, so has anyone figured out the music yet? Also, what brand sunglasses are those?
Thanks

[MrPeteDuffy]

Much the best beginners video that I've seen on youtube. Thanks.

Nice video. Just starting out like a few others and has been a nice help, although I'm not sure about dumping sand onto the kite?
Might be better off with little sand bags in some areas (like here) as our sand can be full of sharp debris.

Nicely done video. I had to shut the sound halfway through. I've saved to my kite surfing folder, great reference for beginners. Great camera and editing with good graphic illustrations.

Kiteboards have less rocker than a normal wakeboard and usually less outline too... though they look similar. You can ride a wakeboard but you will find it hard to stay up wind and will bounce around a lot in the choppy water.

i much would the kiteboard go for it looks like fun to do and can it be used in a big park

[JancarleSantos]

Very Nice! Where is it? Cauípe lake, in Ceará, Brazil?

[digitalfingerprints]

where was this recorded? looks like a great place to learn.

[fastest]

what is the music? its pretty sweet, video is rad and smooth too.

[hhattingh]

Wonder if playing with practice kite on paddle board would help with balance?

[garrl]

hey, im new to kiting but im going to be starting soon, i was wondering why you should not launch the kite infront of you? only to your extreme left or right. Thanks :)

Good video and filming, this looks like it was recorded with a camera GOPRO HD

[ZzapingTv]

11:43 background splash landing and clap dust removal is perfectly aligned lol

[mauihandyman]

Great video!! Just noticed, no safe release and no leash on the kite.
