Awesome Ideas! Thank you!

drop the background music. much too loud and unnecessary. thanks.

That’s happen to me today 🙈

You are lying. You claimed that Dakhla is occupied by Morocco and that it was previously Spanish. Are you serious? It seems you haven’t studied history at all. I suggest you research the historical map of the Moroccan empire before making such statements.

so if i weigh 120 to 130 pounds do I get a 12m or smt? i need help im completely new to this

Brilliantly practical stuff! Thanks! I like how you think!

can’t believe kim kardshian gets more views than you mate

omg, genius idea!

I know how to windsurf and windfoil.. i want to learn how to foilkite... should i skip the twintip thing alltogether and just learn how to use the kite?

Great info Evan!💪

Thanks!

Nice pajamas

Buying used gear you should be at least a bit experienced to determine if gear is good or bad. Even if you test it upfront you need experience to know if it’s flying good. In my experience I can tell buying used gear is not always bad. Depending on country and market, you may find barely used gear (2-3years old) at reasonable prices. If you live at a kite spot going on a daily/weekly basis you should consider buying new gear and sell it after one year.

😂😂 if you are looking for used boards reading descriptions, there are no bad boards at all. All boards are jumping by themselves, going upwind as hell. All boards are perfect for beginners, no compromise! 😂😂

I spent 2600 swiss francs for all my gear, almost only second hand This includes a foil kite with costed me 1100.- and a full carbon foil for 250.- The rest of the money got me 3 kites 2 bars 3 harnesses 2 boards 1 pump 1 travel bag 1 wetsuit If I had bought everything new I would have spent probably 12k My tip is to be very patient and knowing what you’re looking for without being too specific, make a checklist for every item you want. Spend some time to get an idea of the prices benchmark, depending on the year and model (and repairs!).. then you can start soaring for the good deal. Set up search notifications on your local second hand website where there’s the most kite gear available. Of course as usual make sure your material is in good condition and change your line every 3-4 years like recommended (it’s expensive)

Love the one hand steering “elbow” control tip

Yes, a helmet, I found it helpful to have front footstrap worn loosely to help manage the board as a grab handle, and for waterstarts. Then either get rid of the strap , or add another if you want to jump. But must be careful to stay in control, and get the front foot out of strap before crashes.

The background music is torture but thanks for the info

Thank You 🤙🏼…. Do you recommend starting strapless?

Thank you Evan for this great idea for storing your GoPro. I have been thinking about this for a very long time and I look forwards to testing this out! For anyone wondering. Leashing your gopro to yourself in any way is what we mostly want to avoid. There are times you need to pass the gopro from one hand to the other quickly + it could also throw out some safety issues (wrap around body part) Riding around with your go pro in your mouth for ages is not ideal. My current solution is put it inside my wetsuit or impact vest but your solution looks great. Thanks and see you on the water!

I just bought the Eagle Creek Migrate 130 liter rolling duffel. I purposely chose a duffel without a rigid back ... because i sometimes stuff it in another bag when I only need it on a return trip. The non rigid duffel is also much easier to fit into small rental cars or taxis in Europe. Only paid €150 in Germany. Looking to use it as my main travel luggage.

So, you weren’t shot at a pep rally?

If only all kite report videos were as good as this one. Thank you for all the useful information.

Good advice

Why that stupid background music? Can't hear what you say

Took 15 minutes hahaha

Thx 😊

Over 300$ for a bag??? Thank you, but no thank you.

move to foil kites, get rid of the bag, and the extra leash/rope and the pump. 3 birds in one shot. ha and get better wind range, and lighter kite...

The music is insanely loud

Awesomeness

Can you fit your mast in there? Would have been cool to see loading the gear on the bags a bit more.

Evan! Was this video inspired by my question about travel bags?😆

What size foil board can you fit?

Bordeaux ! Come say hi, hope you'll enjoy kite in the Arcachon Bay there is cool spots there 😄 Tomorrow at "La hume" there is a Slinghot Kite test around 2pm

Golf bag and golf hat is the way to travel with kites 😂

Gradation thanks a lot , I am on the verge of having an initiatory session …. And I am considering your advices… thanks

Maybe put the background music a bit louder, I was hardly able to hear it 🤣🤣

Merci pour ces tips !

last year at 17 thanks to your videos I learned to kitesurf independently and safely and now the tricks, I didn't go to kite school, I did it independently because I didn't have enough money, buying everything used. But I wouldn't recommend doing it without a school first, out of consideration for the safety of yourself and others! Thanks, keep it up

started my first lessons last year at 15, was gone all year without kiting but now i’m back at 16 and Im riding independently now with rented equipment. I remember seeing this video last year and thinking i’d be doing jumps on my first days of lessons 😂😂

So I’m a complete noob and I got a core XR 12 haven’t flown it yet I’ve yet to take lessons i do have several 3m trainer kite that I’m very well with i just have to find time to take lessons before I try flying something I’m not that familiar with 😂

Dude, I'm past this, and on transitions, but this whole video hits home. I had 6-7 sessions after my lessons and almost dropped the sport because I was so frustrated with everything. The only thing I would add, and this is location specific, but tides if your near a river mouth. The first time I dropped my kite with the wind to my back and it floated towards me because of an outgoing tide was wild. All things you learn and tools you stick in your tool box.

All rush with a side of great friendship

All rush with a side of great friendship

I got my whole setup for 1000-1500 usd !

Evan, I'm going to be purchasing a travel bag soon for a twin tip and 2 kites. Could you make some recommendations?

Wow! As a new rider you videos have been very helpful. Hope you do more videos for new rider as you seem to have a great understand of what it was like when you started. Thanks again keep up the great work.

Good info thanks
