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

[@TheMissionkill]

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

[@progressionsports]

Thanks, appreciate the support :-)

[@tomfuller.]

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!

[@kristonren]

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

[@progressionsports]

@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 :)

[@zumba_kitesurfer]

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

[@drewid78]

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

[@progressionsports]

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

[@WAKEPLkitesurf]

really good video !

[@pauldiahy167]

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

[@MB-oz3wb]

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?

[@AP-fl1ln]

Thank you

[@progressionsports]

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.

[@progressionsports]

@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?

[@TheMissionkill]

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?]

[@E-sk8Fr]

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

[@progressionsports]

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 ;-)

[@ShannonHartnett-117]

So is this dvd good for a complete noob, who has had 1 instructed lesson and has all their own gear ready to go out and self learn, i dont want to take another kite lesson due to how darn expensive the lessons are ive been studying youtube alot on kite boarding and feel confident enough to get out and try it solo i grew up flying stunt kites as a kid into my teens so that helped me with the first lesson i even got upto single hand control down and upwind body dragging.

[@thecerry888]

oh i want to try...

[@progressionsports]

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....

[@progressionsports]

@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 :-)

[@luiscarlosrubino]

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.

[@progressionsports]

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

[@IIB_SWEETWATER]

👌🏼

[@kevinescalante2008]

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?

[@progressionsports]

Hey Kevin, we've never actually kiting in Hood River but know lots of guys that kite down there and its a great place to kite. Conditions can be pretty full on - strong winds and some spots are probably not great for beginners but just ensure you check in with the locals and ask there advise when you arrive. There are definitely some spots which will be better for you that others.

[@kevinescalante2008]

Hey thanks a ton for the advice! Definitely will have to do that!

[@RuggeFx]

sooo bad!!! :D thanks

[@mattie9481]

bad? but thanks? hmmm

[@progressionsports]

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.

[@RuggeFx]

how the name of song???

[@progressionsports]

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

[@sakooeh4273]

Where can we watch the whole dvd on KZbin or is only by purchase?

[@progressionsports]

Full video is available on the progression website: progression.me/player/collections/kiteboarding-beginner-collection

[@sakooeh4273]

@@progressionsports thank you!

[@hpwmaui]

Where is it filmed?

[@progressionsports]

In Egypt at the Kite Junkies center in Nabq Bay. Great place to learn to kite or improve your skills in perfect flat water!

...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!!!

[@103703878]

d bird is mint...

[@alcap6145]

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?!?!

[@Motleyiceman1]

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...

[@denizulusan4742]
