Your videos are so well constructed. The explanations are crystal clear. The footage are super high quality. Congratulations and please keep posting such amazing videos!

Definitely the BEST videos...
Clear video, Good explanations with blending in the bar.. and very important filming the Kite AND the Kiter itself.
Most other tutorial videos are too fast, no SloMo, only filming the Kiter..
Really the best Videos :)

Very well documented and detailed, I may have done a regular pop during my latest session thanks to this video ! It was ridiculous height about a few cm but the first time in my life with the board entirely outside of the water :-)...

Great video! Started kiteboarding last December and started to work on jumps with in the last few months in the state of Maine. Need to dile into the pop more because some of my jumps I would get up in the air then the kite would front stall after it flew over my head, the lines would go slack and my kite would roll forward inside my lines. I had to do a self-rescue's on those occasions and fix the mess back on the beach. People say the front stall a result of not enough pop with the for this great load and pop video!

Another great video. Also your voice over audio is always perfect

1:11 The second element: you can also stomp with your front foot for massive front rolls etc.

Clear and concise instructions on the progression to jumping.

My instructors told me not to pull the bar(leave it somewhere in the middle) during pop, Do you guys pull even though you still keep it around 10:30?

[jackignatev]

nice Vid as usual. U could also talk about the timing of the bar. sheeting in when going down wind, sheeting out when edging and sheet back in to take off. people tend to forget that they also have front lines, I'll try to explain this process in a second "pop" episode on my channel. in french though, I'm a bit lazy to do it in english ;) excellent piece of work anyway ! cheers

It looks a lot like a Raley?I'm new to kitesurfing but pretty good at wakeboarding...I think the board movement and the heel dig in with the feet are more or less the same compared to wakeboarding?

[patvas]

Thanks you very much. I am still waiting for Advanced Water Relaunch Episode 2 video.
