Did I just watch a 8 minute trailer for a dvd?

Are there any 60 year old kiters? I'm 58 and a skydiver , and wanna switch. Last skydive was 6 yrs ago. Can us old goats do it?!?!

Thank you

This isn’t a video about kitesurfing. It’s a video about a video about kitesurfing

awesome video :)) hope one day when both my editing and kiting skill reach this level

This is an ADvertising for a video/dvd

Most of us older Kiters grew up on Progressions videos, I hope they can be downloaded these days as they really are inspiring and save a lot of crashes!

im new on kite surfing, what kite is the best for me, i spoke with some people, they say what F-one or slightshot rally is the best, is it true?

So I'm learning at Hood River, OR this summer. I've been told it's not a good place for a beginner to learn, but I did a little a year ago. Anybody have any suggestions about this?

Where is it filmed?

a lot easier than windsurfing

Nothing is EASY for everyone. One persons ease is another persons difficulty. Cant wait to start learning in Dublin.

das Video ist gut ! cantabria-kitesurf-sup.blogspot.com. ein Gruß.

well, after 10 yrs experience you should know everything what a beginner should know, shouldn't you? lol what I don't get it, why you're bragging here about it? You are definitely not a beginner and you just waste your time at the wrong place here. Secondly, when you do something to the kite sport like this then you can criticize it, other then shut a f up! It's funny, non of the professional kite instructors noted here anything, so you definietly a dumb amateur for me!

kite smells shit!

sooo bad!!! :D thanks

Its actually a piece of stock music so it doesn't have a name and its not available for purchase anywhere. Sorry.

how the name of song???

really good video !

I also don't think it demerits the sport, or the accomplishments of those within it, to say its "easy" and for "everyone". If you kite at the right beach, with constant gentle wind, flat water & the correct equipment then most person of average fitness can cruise back and forward and enjoy themselves. But if you kite in strong, gusty winds, waves, current, places with small beaches and difficult launches, attempt to push yourself to try different tricks then its not "easy" just a lot of fun ;-)

I guess our point is the sport is "relatively" easy and far for the perception that many people have of the sport. We only say "you don't have to be super-fit", we hope that implicitly implies that you do need some level of fitness to take part in Kitesurfing - I doubt anyone would ever think to compare kitesurfing to a sport like, say, darts ;-) Surely its very obviously a certain level of fitness is required but nothing out of the ordinary.

Not yet, we have the translations done and will be doing it this summer along with several other languages.

...also, i´ve seen people that don´t see it so cool or "easy" when they have to ride to the deep, IN the ocean, at the end it´s by yourself and it´s not like watching it on t.v., i feel it demerits the sport when it´s described like "easy" and just for "everyone" when it´s a little more complicated my friends, here in the Gold of Mexico, in Veracruz we have north winds, waves, a big ocean, and believe me it´s not that easy!!!

i think that it is for everyone but at the same time it´s not, you define ths sport like "easy" and for "everyone" when really it´s not. You do have to be fit, more than an average person, you will see it when you have to swim in the deep with a fallen kite, looking for the window that will lift it up, or just learning after 2 hours of instruction, you have to know how to swim, you HAVE to be fit, you need strong abs just to put the board on in the water, etc,strong legs, knees, ancles...

Thanks, appreciate the support :-)

you should release new dvd with new teaching techniques, 3D filming & so; that would be awesome and really great for learning; Your videos are getting quite old, they are great but a new release would be sooooooo good :D

Spent two days having lessons, and it was great. Just getting up and going now. The DVD was really useful. Thanks

Thanks Drew, glad we helped. Give us a shout if we can help with any kitesurfing queries in the future.

This is a great DVD. I highly recommend it, especially for those about to take lessons. It helps a lot with what to expect from a course and introduces you to lots of new kite jargon and procedure. And after the course it can help fill in any blanks. Enjoy

@TheMissionkill Easter is a great time to learn, assuming we get some good wind! Then you'll have all spring and summer to get the basics mastered and there is no reason by the end if the summer you'll be riding around, staying upwind and even learn to jump. As always just depends on getting the right conditions. As far as lessons go, one day maybe enough but listen to your instructor - trying to cut your lessons short will only result you struggling on your own for days or weeks. Have fun :)

Going to buy the DVD to watch soon, but would you say that Easter in the UK (At Bournemouth/Poole) is a good time to take a day of lessons to get started. [I already windsurf and can fly a land power kite so know a bit about the power zone etc, so could I do just one day of lessons to get me on the water with my own kitesurfing kit?]

@luiscarlosrubino This is the first chapter from our Progression Kiteboarding Beginner DVD and it is the best selling kitesurfing DVD worldwide so confused as to what you were expecting to see?

The advertising linking to this video says "Learning to kitesurf? Watch the first chapter from the worlds best selling Beginner DVD" but it's not what we see here.

d bird is mint...

@kcorfield1 lessons with a school are definitely important for any beginner in the sport. Used alongside our DVD guides you can ensure you will learn faster and more safely too. Thanks for the good feedback :-)

flyfalcon91 - If you have the board skills then you will find getting up on the board and progressing towards intermediate level will be much easier. Learning how to fly a kite however is just as important, particularly as a beginner as it can be fatal to put up a 10m kite and not know how to control it. As good as our DVD is we still recommend 1 or 2 days of lessons to learn those key kite skills, bringing you up to to the waterstart. Practising with power kites nearer home would also be good.

thecerry888 - Get out there and give it a go! Kitesurfing is not as hard as you think and is one of the most inspiring, rewarding and addictive action sports out there. And of course, with a little help from Progression, you will up and riding in no time....

oh i want to try...

how funny is that bragging about 10 years kiting and still having to watch the beginners dvd only to moan about not learning anything about somthing youve not done on the water yet and saying i have the gear i just need to do it learn it do you think i still need lessons then criticising a very helpfull video because it explains how to do it safely haha must of been that 6 long years dare devil static flying haha

i have been kiting for 10 years now, and kite landboarding for 4 years. i have watched the progressin kiteboarding for beginners dvd, and have learned nothing at all, all stuff i know. i have the gear already, just need to go do it. learn it. and dont start about safety.. im not a beginner, i know the dangers. you still think i need lessons to start kiteboarding?. grts
