A SHORT INSRUCTIONAL VIDEO DESCRIBING HOW TO GET MOVING ON A LANDBOARD WITH A KITE

[@benbhand]

Just picked up a mountain board and finally think I'm ready to give it a go with my kites. Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@robertwaldmann4544]

10 years old and still very helpful! Thx

[@Moonzy72]

Thanks alot for the great tips and thanks for sharing. Keep the tutorials coming...and keep up the good work.

[@JssstMusic]

Thanks for the vid. Just tested my landboard today. Tomorrow, I'm going to practice again. :-)

[@dezertraider]

Thank you so very much! I miss flying.I use to run Colt Park n Newport beach,Fog land some time in RI.,,,Till they pointed Guns!lol 73s

[@johngo6283]

Very nice video. Thanks for posting it.

[@Chris-yb5pf]

I got a kite for Christmas and I am waiting for a board to arrive so thanks for the tips hopefully goes well I can’t wait

[@carltb]

if you havent flown a kite before then id suggest getting a 3m ish training kite and have a fly before you step on a board. as with all kite sports, its 80% kite control and 20% board control.

[@daVidFonda]

Thanx xarltb but I've never had any kite. I've just bought a windskate. Is a Kitesurf wing fine?

[@SimonDuffy2]

Any chance you could do a video about landboarding upwind? I'd be particularly interested to see the position of the kite in the wind window and a few comments on what to do with your weight distribution on the board. Also if you'd like to give me a free lesson on St Anne's beach anytime I can be there in 10 minutes!!

[@carltb]

Simon Duffy hi mate next time im about give me a shout and ill be happy to give you some pointers

[@juanhuarte6396]

I just got a 3m eolo kite, i'm learning to fly it with my mountainboard. One question, do you keep the kite always at the same height or do you move it up and down to gain power? Do you know where else i can find instructional videos or texts? Thanks! and great video! it really helped me out!

[@smallbas53]

Excellent video. Wish I'd checked this out the first time I tried land boarding! About to try again, so this will help....

[@ianwatkins9260]

Great vid Carl. Makes perfect sense to me who is just starting out.

[@hunterbearnz840]

Awesome Vid....simple and straight to the point

[@carltb]

@pudodrewculous NICE1. the footage is there but i think im going to start off with the basics and help people to walk before they can run!! lol.

[@kitebuggytaxi9742]

Thanks for the video! I am driving Kitbuggy over 10 years but know i want to try ATB :D

[@daVidFonda]

Thanks Carltb. I'll try that. Very useful tips you're giving me.

[@MrIrrepressible]

can u do a vid about going upwind and changing direction?

[@carltb]

I've already done one about transitions. And getting up wind is all about board angle and being powered

[@carltb]

+Skie k i tend not to fly in off shore winds as they are gusty and unpredictable. it would just be like flying inland

[@carltb]

+Skie k if the wind is too strong for your skill level then don't fly.

[@Danton-yx8dn]

+carltb what kite did u use

[@daVidFonda]

Thanks but how big should the kite be?

[@TheSab2000ify]

Is that a Peter Lynn phantom?

[@carltb]

No mate it's the charger

[@TheSab2000ify]

Ya, you are right.

[@noahshapiro77]

hey I weigh 95 pounds and have a 8meter kite for the water do you think that will be to much for landboarding

[@mvb1985]

what board do you have?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great video. Cheers

[@barteksrartek473]

I've got problem with rolling board,I can start but I keep loosing wind almost instatly?

[@Hellnferno]

I tried a 6m ozone fury on landboard for first time today. I am having a little problem with keeping up with wind or the wind is not very good (5-8mph with gust up to 12mph). I also use handlers, when I turn kite from 12'ock, it drag me off a little too fast. Thinking of getting Ozone Turbo bar in a month or so. Meantime do you have any tip for my kite with handlers? Thanks!

[@carltb]

if you are comfortable flying the kite on the water then you can also use it on land, but take it out in less wind then you would for the water. id drop 5-10 mph off your top end

[@carltb]

it all depends on the conditions, but to park and ride is the goal, but if you dont have enough power you can work the kite to generate more power ie move it up and down . have a google for the progression series of dvd's

[@davedevine2623]

Nice one good vid shows a lot more then most vids

[@TheTerry500]

Excellent, simple instruction. Thanks ;0)

[@markexel]

Helped me out a lot!! thnx

[@carltb]

glad to hear it dude!! next step is getting airbourne!!

[@carltb]

your kite size will depend on make , model and wind speed . if you can scud with it then you can board with it.

[@carltb]

tha was my first kite!! that's what the TB stands for - The Bullet!

[@A-fl1ln]

Vielen Dank =Thank you very much

[@tizzleberg]

Great video :P subbed

[@aaronlennon71]

hi can u use a 3m for landboarding thanks

[@carltb]

Yes you can use a 3m to landboard. Actually, it's a great size kite to start out on

[@TheSab2000ify]

carltb good point, im using a scout III and it's perfect

[@barteksrartek473]

ok I'm gonna try it tomorrow thanks

[@carltb]

it sounds like you are trying to go up wind too much. try following the kite for a few seconds longer before you carve upwind.

[@dtj41]

I imagine my 14m LEI kite would be a bit too large for landboarding...

[@barteksrartek473]

Hi

[@carltb]

not really, it all depends on flying it in the right winds for your weight and within your own abilities. my go to kite is a peter lynn arc. and at the minute im mostly flying the 18m phantom2

[@barteksrartek473]

I'm using PL Phantom 2 9 m

[@carltb]

a 5.5m peter lynn twister would be a better option. the ace is cheap for a reason. poor quality and unstable

[@barteksrartek473]

well it was better today but still i think I'm doing something wrong
