Learning from their MISTAKES // Kiteboarding SA Masterclass

One of the best ways to progress is by learning from your mistakes. I can replicate some of these mistakes, but real mistakes are better. So we'll review some videos from my students to see what they can improve!

Love the format and hats off to the students trying new things while also being willing to share their experiences so everyone else can learn too.

[@TiagoRuivo]

I approve this new format and love the idea. Keep going...

Great, Great instruction video. This so unbelievably informative. Seeing the average Joe trying tricks while you comment on them is often way easier to see how to improve than seeing how a pro does it. The way you do this format is perfect. You show their vid comparing how you do it is massive. Thanks for this

It looks like dave‘s board

Great video Steven, it helps allot to see other making mistakes which helps anyone who is learning. I am 90kg and got up to 11,8m on flat water on the IJsselmeer. Some sessions I get the timing better then others. I get consistently up to 9-10m(even last week on monday when it was 40+ knots on my 7m) but I would love to hit 15m someday, or at least progress a bit more.

to me, jumping , very often happen two type of things, or I can't take the kite to the zenith because make me loose the board edge or this happen when I sheet in, I can't understand if I'm too much over powered or if there are other reasons, I edge pretty well anyway

Thanks for coaching me through my first loop! And glad you got it on video! Hope it helps others avoid hard crashes in their first loops!

Hey! I'm currently using a 135 cm Imperator and sometimes I feel that can't lock the eade to carve sharp when pop. I tried Fusion 135 and like it more grip. For 185cm 75kg what size Fusion should i get? 133 135 137 139? What are the benefits of board size in the last 2 metres of water contact(just before take off)? What board size will get me faster a 2m spray of water just before take off? Should I get 2 board? PS I don't get the to opportunity to test in different board sizes 😢

loving it!

[@Flying-Bob]

Great, thanks 🤙

[@tuncher_ferad]

Chief! Can you please make some videos about the new line of surfboards. The way you did previously. For the love of the brand, give us a bit more info about the new product - more particularly interested in the Badger! Thank you in advance ma man! Much love from Toronto.

[@craigslist220]

Do you ever offer lessons in the US?

[@jondeur2686]

Great video instruction, Steven. You’re kinda good at this teaching thing! I have a question. What’s the difference between a classic jump and a forward send jump? Don’t you have to send your kite down through the power zone to ride away downwind? I’m not just being a jerk. I’m a kiter who only cares about jumping and who after 12 years of ugly jumping is pretty discouraged. Thanks for your help. PS. I’m a 71 year old Dutchman and I can’t load and pop either.

[@deeearnshaw9551]

Agree with all the comments- more helpful than seeing perfect tricks!

[@GaetanoCrisci]

Very useful video idea, thank You Steven!❤

[@sauce25]

Appreciate you making this sort of video-such a helpful way to learn!

[@kst157]
