Easy come, easy go! You can explain it all you want, but you just need to feel the kite and the wind.

[@harry356]

Thumbs up for just the jump in the intro! You guys are doing what I dreamed of 20 years ago! Would love to join!

[@rolandassmann8050]

Nice and inspiring examples of tricks. The build up is logical from one to the next. Will try them all asap. Thanks Jake!

[@Nilz4FR]

You Rock Jake. Gimme more of those basic tricks please. Love em!

[@ilias2841]

awsome inspiring video , keep going back to it , especially the simple cruising along and aerial transitions touch the beach ....thats kite boarding !

[@majanowa2201]

Awesome video! You should do more such videos for beginners❤️

[@JonathanTollefson]

Nice video! Can't wait to give these few tricks a try the next time I am out.

[@federicomartinez9198]

dude you need to make more like this one. It was awesome

[@carlhewlett]

So I finally managed to get going on the kite and started landing basic jumps. Looking forward to try some of these beginner tricks! Thanks 🤗

[@mskeezer]

Feeling the vlogs don keep em coming

[@ronblume3071]

I look forward to being that competent a beginner. Yay!! Partying on the water!

[@janmrawwo]

This is exactly what I needed!

[@RonnieColedong]

Hey Jake, I love your vids man. I wish you'd post more often but I know it's not easy. I would love to see you do a series such as "Trick Tuesday". Maybe you could teach one trick each Tuesday. If there's no wind to make a trick vid, you could take an old clip of a trick and break it down and talk us through it. Anyway, I'm going kiting tomorrow in Cape Town South Africa and re-watching some of your older vids for inspiration. Cheers man!

[@mikeschoonderwoerd5573]

Sweet kite video, great top 5!

[@LotetaCartel]

Nice video Jake , thank you so much for sharing man I personally really appriciate it and I am sure alot of other people do aswell

[@tomfuller.]

GREAT vids Jake, spot on :)

[@kitesurfintl336]

Good one Jake!!!

[@pedrocaetano629]

Awesome. It helps a lot!

[@Chogogo717]

Great video. Thanks. I only get out a couple times a year when I head back to Bonaire. I’m not a huge fan of kiting our lakes in Dallas because of too many wind shadows, I don’t float in fresh water (even with a vest), and too much boat traffic. When we left Bonaire in October I was learning upwind kiting, so hopefully I can try some of this soon.

[@robpullen]

Nice vid, vlogging about what you love doing !! That last bit made me laugh. I just need to get out on the water more and practise everything lol. Keep em coming dude, big ups !!!

[@JakeKelsick]

+Rob Pullen thanks for always showing love Rob! 👊

[@Gar1bo]

Nice vidddeo bro!!! Greattings from Argentina!! God Bless You!!!

nice vlog Jake, I would like to see some unhooked tricks that you explain, btw I love these (beginner)tricks and you showed some different angles, cool man

[@rayduke71]

I don't know anything about kiteboarding but it seems very exciting . cool stuff

[@TonyinFL]

Good stuff!!

[@RafalAndHisThoughts]

nice nice, I really like your videos style.

[@TheJulianErickson]

Awesome video! Suggestion: Any tips or video on mastering back roll?

[@mariustbo]

great video, you just got a new subscriber !

[@wilkothewiz]

I've been learning to kite in choppy conditions which is an effort. You make it look effortless. Nice vlogs.

[@JakeKelsick]

Thanks dude! Been kiting for nearly 13 years now so like anything it gets better with time haha Keep charging and maybe try and find some flat water ;)

[@wilkothewiz]

Keep Shredding Jake, Maybe we'll meet at Jabberwock Beach Antigua!

[@5IronCoil]

[@moritzjagel1889]

Nice Video, Hello from Germany 🤟🏽

[@yves-andreferland5264]

Good stuff, thanks. How about first time wave riding tips ??

[@justinwuthrich8106]

Amazing Video Please some backroll unhooked raley and the stuff that are a bit difficult Big ups!!!

[@JohnDoe-pq3oe]

Nice video !! If later you could do on how to start unhooked would be great!

[@fabriziocastellari7835]

Cool video, thanks. I wonder if you could do a video on the position of the kite in respect to the kiter during the jump and the air transition. I think I have difficulty in visualising the actual position of the pull of the kite while this is happening. Thanks again, keep it up!!

[@gabrielblinderman6390]

Great video, especially how you show and then tell. Great quality. This is perfect for imagining what I want to learn first after I save up time and money for equipment and lessons!

[@patrickmcintosh3173]

Great videos. I really appreciate new thoughts on what to do to improve my riding!

[@federicomartinez9198]

riding toeside? check. carving turns? check. popping/fronstide 180 ... half All of these thanks to your video mate :) continue the good stuff!

[@MinceTime]

Great video, sometimes its hard to see what you're doing when its the POV camera angle. Would love a front roll video. Thanks again!

[@RajeshTaylor]

Nice! Are there any basic hand positions I need to know. Would love to try Kiteboarding out in May.

[@lifesbetteronaboard]

Thanks for this!

[@JakeKelsick]

No worries dude! Stoked to hear you enjoyed it. Hows the kiting been going?

[@jvgkitesurfer]

Excellent video. nice Thank you

[@getarealhaircut]

thanks for the video that gives me something to work on ! I could use a better break down of jumps and air transitions with a better angle and some do's n don'ts

[@fatosconhecidosanimalestim7603]

Pretty cool

[@kevinbrooker9508]

The POV shots are nice but there is no visual perspective as to where the kite is with respect to the rider. Can you shoot the basic tricks from a few angles (maybe behind and side views)so we can see what the kite is doing during the trick? Thanks, Kevin

[@steguez7545]

Good videos mate, one Q - what location is this shot at? Stunning...

[@ahmdabdallah5811]

God has said in the Quran: { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) Quran

[@tobiasholter1224]

yewww dude, nice one! killing it with these Vlogs!! I should get on the KZbin, Facebook is way too over rated :D

[@mantaslui8296]

Nice vid. Any advice how to go higher and balance while hanging? im always lossing balance when i hit 6m and above

[@LankaTuber]

After watch this video!!! I wanna go to the beach...

[@tinibaccarini2080]

Great stuff! Can I have a personal training lesson please🏄🏼‍♂️🏄🏼‍♀️😁🤙🏽

[@timsrfrider]

sweet thanks cool vid

[@franzotto1336]

Great Video Maybe some beginner unhooked tricks would be nice

[@JakeKelsick]

Franz Otto haha yes! Will be working on a video related to that soon so stay tuned! 👊

[@ToolManTaylor]

Hey, Jake how about a video on how to come to a stop at the beach for beginners and with style..

[@SimT8]

Great tips. I notice you have no fins on your board? Better for freestyle but will I be ok on the water to start with?

[@pascoebailey833]

Hey Jake, would be great if you had another video on riding blind and how to transition back out. The double grab to blind in this video is awesome, but hard to see the transition back to riding normal.

[@rafamtbdf]

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

[@pauloafonso7167]

Please do a video comparing the differences between Shinn Ronson Player with the Shinn Monk!

[@DebacleWhimsical]

Could you explain what the pro's and cons are when kiting with fins and no fins on your board.

[@SuperMiha9]

Hello. Can you tell me the location? Looks amazing. Thanks :D

[@markherring3513]

i got as far as toe-siding before i stopped kiting. I need to get back into it..its been about 10 yrs since i kited.

[@zesherp]

this video is legit

[@sirsweetalot]

more of these ;)

[@panikatarzyna871]

Where is this video made? I need to go there!

[@softwaretest1879]

Thanks for sharing... That's cool! Where are you from?

[@JakeKelsick]

I'm from the island of Antigua 👊🏼

[@justincarter8553]

Thanks for the video. How do you guys get kite control like that? What type of kite and what size were you using in the videos? Cheers

[@JakeKelsick]

Hey Justin, I'm using a 10 & 12m Ozone C4 with a 38cm bar - Check them out here bit.ly/FlyOzone Thanks for watching dude!

[@justincarter8553]

Thanks for the reply Jake. Do you use the 38cm bar with the 12m?

[@jacoporegini2626]

What's the name of the song at the beginning of the video?

[@bruscky]

3:49 Houston we have a problem!

[@KevinDiamond]

Awesome Video! Thanks for breaking it down easy! Interested in a video on getting started! I've watched a lot of videos with the basic training steps (learn the basics of setting up the kite, getting in the water, emergency recover board etc etc) but would love a video on doing kiteboarding on your own. Everyone talks about having a partner which is great, but perhaps have a video on doing with a partner even if your partner has never kite boarded before. I've wakeboarded a bunch, and am taking in these videos before I jump on a kite board. But for someone who is looking to avoid a "lesson" and simply get in the water and figure it out quickly- would love any tips! Thanks for this video and others!

[@holgerschmidt9717]

NEVER avoid lessons!

[@sinaigel]

how did you put a flag on your flying line? fan from Aruba

[@BencomoTFN]

Great video Bum bum bum

[@noahrunciman5603]

How do you put a flag on your line? Thanks!!

[@viewlifechannel]

👍

[@noahrunciman5603]

Sick video can someone please tell me how to put a flag on a kite line??

[@Papaondas]

hi could you please named the spot on this video, thanks

[@MaartenHeuvel]

I always lose alot of speed when switching to toeside.. My kite stays in the same position and gives the same amount of pressure. But im still sinking once I switch.. Any tips?

[@Mikhashilin]

You don't put enough weight on your toes so you ride towards the kite. That decreases the apparent wind so you lose speed and sink

[@jjperera3389]

Cool video does anybody know the location ?

[@JakeKelsick]

+JJ Perera thanks JJ! Location is Jabberwock Beach in Antigua 👊

[@Knasterman]

cant wait till I get my firstb 10.5hour course .....

[@nicoreynders2399]

Can anybody tell me what is the music from this video

[@rameezshahid9271]

5:21 fucking awesome.

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

If you're a beginner, you normally can't do "tricks". In true sports, that's for the advanced or even expert level. So this must truly be a kids' sport.

[@XavierAlfeiranSainz]

So, i see you don’t use fins in your board right? Easier for switching to toeside

[@JakeKelsick]

Yeah that's one advantage of no fins but I mainly ride without them because I'm always riding up the beach and hitting kicker and rails ;)

[@diogoberger174]

Now you need to do a video with tricks a bit more difficult than these ones

[@JakeKelsick]

+Diogo Berger I got a few in this playlist - www.bit.ly/KiteTips but for sure need to do some more.

[@donsylvester5275]

I really like your video series. Interesting. But for many of us who are still in the beginner-humiliation phase can I suggest you break down the skills into more discrete info? For you its "boom, boom, boom" easy ..... but a bit more specific slow-mo video and description of exactly what you're doing would be quite helpful. Get someone else to video you? Show and tell us how you're coordinating the kite and your body position? Thanks!

[@JakeKelsick]

Northern Secret thanks for the feed back. This video is meant to be more of a guide to give you some ideas for what you might want to work on next. Not a super tech breakdown. But will keep that in mind for the next video. Thanks for watching!

[@tristanhopman4153]

Raley 2 blind s bend

[@fuelbasti]

Spot?

[@matgivher2309]

Is there any reason why you're joining your hands?

[@FreakensNL]

dude where do you live!? Aruba?

[@JakeKelsick]

+Freek Gemmeke I live in Antigua 👊

[@martenthijssen8406]

I suck at riding switch, so i always ride toeside lol

[@nobody46820]

🙂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@noahrunciman5603]

Where do you live??

[@sierf5371]

advanced tricks would be nice :)

[@JakeKelsick]

+Sierf I have a few already up on my channel. ;) But thanks for the feedback!

[@BilSchimchelevitz]

well you clicked on video written "for beginner" what did you expect?

[@TheNewArnold]

these people are happy... I want to be like that...

[@lynperk]

should i remove the fin from my board

[@JakeKelsick]

If you have flat water I'd say give it a go lyn! Feels super funky at first but it's fun and freeing once you get use to it. No real need for it unless you are hitting features though or have an obsession with sliding up the beach haha

[@lynperk]

thanks

[@poloblairo]

Name of the first song please ? :)

[@Turfrey]

I need to know this too

[@Turfrey]

Bittersweet - BaaskaT

[@arnaufrigola7958]

Why u dont wear fins? Appart for riding the kicker

[@JakeKelsick]

+Arnau Frigola I'm always bouncing in between riding the kicker and flat water so just got use to doing everything without fins on.
