the best training video I've ever seen so far...

[@LE8271]

If you watch carefully long enough you will recognise a kite in the video!

[@brainloading5543]

Got a point

[@FarmerFred84]

Still can't see it

[@bene8725]

99% of the men who watched this video DON'T know how to fly a kite now.

[@Carambolero]

Yeah, had to concentrate hard enough to see understand what the video was about. She is lovely ended.

[@danzbeard]

There was a kite???

[@sergemann5951]

Great lesson. I watched the whole thing, twice! I wonder who disliked the video.

[@marteung]

Winter sports amateurs!

[@x-shadow-x]

Perfect pilot selectionl

[@davidl3115]

im just here again for the 3rd time watching this video , this vid made me want to get back on the trainer all over again . best kitesurf trainer video ever made. thumbs up if u agree. : )

[@ernest90s]

These tips are geniuous and well showed 👌 fantastic work 👏

[@kirkbrode]

Best beginner instructional video I've seen. And it doesn't hurt that the demonstration is being performed by such a beauty :)

[@korzer]

The lady demonstrator is far too attractive i had to watch the video 3x before i got to the kite bit

[@pabloetchepare7160]

Lovely trainee or trainer or whatever she is. She's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍. And the video, yeah.... As always. Very helpful when learning !!!! LoL 😂😆

[@unknownRebelPL]

I have no idea what this video was about but i sure like it :D

[@IJzzo]

The educational value of that video rises after I made my first failed attempts to fly the trainer for more than 5 seconds.

[@kitesurfcollege]

Thanks Florian. How is your trainer kite flying coming along?

[@IJzzo]

@@kitesurfcollege I didn’t got any days of wind over 6 kts during weekends. Yesterday I was trying it again as I got some wind. Wasn’t too successful either (I guess about 30 seconds fly time), kite does collapse sooner or later, I have very gusty conditions.

[@oseenerby3031]

What a shape….. of the kite…. Nice

[@ronf28]

Great video! and ... she's got the perfect Beach Body or what?!

[@timletchford5841]

I wish my kite instructor taught me this way as I had many tangles and scary moments early on which should not have occurred. Great video. Much appreciated.

[@Carambolero]

I'm kiter myself, not the pro one but still have many years of experience on it and it's always nice to review this training videos. Thanks, very useful. Already recommended it to a guy who will start. And the first recommendation is always: besides watching this training material go do the training with a certified instructor. Still, good reminder for all class of people. Thanks for sharing.

[@londonboys7497]

fantastic video, highly recommended viewing, clear concise and beautifully shot.

[@donatasdicmanas5009]

Kite assembly part is the hardest one, watched many times.

[@pawewy4942]

great, I had using trainer already but this video showed me few things I missed during training

[@brunodsantis2242]

best video about kite basics ever made. Thanks for helping.

[@Clonyxl8]

[@toureiffel4610]

Excellent as usual guys. Thanks.

[@UltraLeap]

[@marteung]

Did you start? How did it go? I'm about to start this summer!

[@carlabonanno1546]

Hi guys, I'm Carla from Argentina. I'm a complete newbie at kitesurfing , I've been having lessons and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your tutorials. It's winter here but I can't wait to practise everything I've learnt watching you!! Take care, Bye!!

[@kitesurfcollege]

Thanks for your kind word Carla. Good luck with your lessons, and let us know how it goes. All the best, Alex.

[@profusionlifetv7183]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@kennethlee6184]

Awesome Work and Subscribed !

[@Hana-su7zg]

great tutorial for a newbie!

[@personalconcierge6813]

Great Video!

[@DuzBee]

Thanks so much, best training video for NooBs like me, some side perspectives while hard steering / diving would be good, not only from behind, help me visualise,, awesome effort cheers

[@blamax4443]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@kitesurfcollege]

Thanks.

[@crisnofear]

Great video! Perfect!

[@kitesurfcollege]

Thankyou

[@bearlemley]

My first flight on a training kite was without instruction. I did not search out any info on how to fly a two line kite. Hey, “it’s just a kite” right? So I tried to launch my kite with the kite on the sand, bottom down and the leading edge into the wind. This will give a lot more time on the beach wondering why your kite will not fly. Even with someone to help holding the kite as it was on the ground of course does not work. One tip that I got from a passer by is that turning a trainer kite by just pulling one line works but isn’t the best. If you also push the other end of the bar forward as you pull one back, the kite will turn faster. This mimics the action you will use with a kiteboarding full size kite. I found that the kite was much more agile, responsive and maneuverable using this method.

[@gujak123]

Best trailer ever seennnnn!

[@5H0M3D4M0N3Y]

I love that you mentioned that kiters shouldn’t steer the bar like a steering wheel. So on a full sized kite when I do a water start, I should only pull in or push out the bar, is that correct? There should not be any rotating or steering motion?

[@alexissandy5095]

Great, thanks!

[@arieljunco1182]

Hola , estaría buenísimo que tradujeran al español este video , como hicieron con otros videos. Gracias.

[@cjtuba1]

Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks i'm starting kite and your tutorial are really usefull for understand mistakes i make. Stand up on board is really difficult 😅

[@mouse2542]

i just dropped in from autoplay at landing, let me tell you i was definitely looking at a kite.

[@richardanderson4796]

I see were I'm going wrong, I need different briefs LOL

[@amycuaresma]

Unless your butt cheeks are beautifully toned, bronzed, and most importantly EXPOSED...the kite doesn't fly properly

[@umbTraining]

How to relaunch after a crash (other than walking to the kite and setting it up again)?

[@utt390]

Can use it for sup surfing

[@LeuchTe_StriKe]

and How can I setup the Bridle on My PowerKite?? at the Last Teststart and Crash, the bridle was configured by My Brother and He don't know anything.

[@miguelr7135]

Great video!! Really helpful video for kite beginners like me. One question, why is recommended to desattach the lines from the kite when you fold it? I personally prefer to leave them attached so next time its easier/faster to start

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hi Miguel, once you have some experience it is easier to leave the lines on. However at first it's very important that students learn a full set up & inspection (including checking bridles and running lines). Otherwise students will skip these important skills.

[@miguelr7135]

@@kitesurfcollege now i get it. Makes sense. Thsnk you so much!!

[@katarzynabarcz5485]

Liked the video ! Very informative. I have also a question what is the girl wearing? Loved the suit ! Can you give me an info? thx :)

[@kitesurfcollege]

Glad you liked the video. I just checked with my wife, she says the swimsuit is from Gypsea.

[@amycuaresma]

Agreed awesome top!

[@paulgormley8174]

Did anyone actually look at the kite? Or learn anything at all in this video? Im sure it was excellent but i was pretty distracted. (I'm only messing around, great vid)

[@LeuchTe_StriKe]

with a normal easy Sportkite, You can practise Your Skills, too.

[@amycuaresma]

Back after two years to say thank you. You taught me the basics on power kiting m, now I'm snowbaorad kiting and hope to be done some kite kayaking or SUP. Have you guys gotten the "winging" big?? Looks really fun

[@ffrreeddyy123456]

Wow, not many youtube videos have such appeal. @4:10

[@dusshan1]

agreed, very good instructions :)

[@AndrewPattullo]

Jesus what kite!! All that sand swear i saw a Camel,s toe ! Very cheeky video...😊

[@Cquirkii]

Yum

[@Sequoiaandpines]

Do you think that controlling power kites, help you to control better your kitesurf? It it worth the investment?

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hello Antonio, doing lots of hours on a trainer kite before lessons will help a lot. You will get more out of lessons and develop much quicker if you're an experienced trainer kite flier. However, if you're already riding around and have finished lessons, then it won't make much difference.

[@Sequoiaandpines]

@@kitesurfcollege thank you very much for your help. I think it might help for me. Do you prefer ozone ignition, core trainer or B2 slingshot trainer?

[@veggera]

The lady: bla bla bla Me: Can you repeat please.

[@snazeevid9802]

Do I have to take off the majority of my clothes in order for these steps to work properly?

[@hamsterminator]

That poor girl will have some very odd tan lines.

Hahaha. We’re not here for the kite

[@nemanjanemanjaa4551]

safety helmet?! really...

[@camcorder187]

propably so they could mount the gopro on her head so they could film her steering the kite.

[@TsundeDK]

Better safe then sorry :)

[@amycuaresma]

Did you see the camera mounted on it?

[@SeeWeedBoatLife]

Well I loved this video but my girlfriend is distracted and super pissed at me that I’m watching porn, again!? LOL
