Learning How To KITESURF: The 4 Things You Will Need!

[@jakke1975]

You got some amazing scenery in all your videos... much much MUCH better than the grey boring coastline of ours :) It's also nice to be able to kite without having dozens and dozens of other kiters criss-crossing through each other. That's very intimidating when learning to kite. Signed up for some lessons with my wife this week and planning to visit family and go kiting in the Caribbean when this whole covid mess clears up. Got the gear, got the lessons and soon it'll be practice, practice, practice! Looking forward to it.

Haha thanks dude! Can't beat those Antigua blues on a bright and sunny day! Once travel opens up we'd love to have you guys down for a session or three 😉

Hey big fan here from in Antigua hope some day I could meet you and do some sessions with you after I get some lessons of course lol. It's one of my dreams to become a kiteboarder. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video Jake. Was one of the first scenes of this video where your did some big air filmed in Antigua because those waves looked pretty good sized

[@JakeKelsick]

That was actually filmed in the BVIS on a small island called Anegada

Have u been to anagada I feel I've met u before I was in anagada in January 2020

Is it possible to self rescue in off shore wind situation?

[@JakeKelsick]

It would be extremely hard. I'd never recommend kiting in offshore wind without a safety boat.

Nice video

[@nonameneeded5722]

What set up do you recommend for beginners ?

[@niekvanwensen]

A kite that I personally find really nice is a north NEO (I have a 9m) it is a really stable kite because it has only 3 struts (most kites have 5). it’s designed as a wave kite, it’s extra stable so u can focus on the wave, but that makes it a perfect beginner kite, but it’s also a really nice kite for advanced kiters (not only for wave kiting but also jumping)

[@JakeKelsick]

Check out www.tonalife.com The Stratus and the Joyride would be a perfect setup for learning and progressing on. 🤙🏻

More than one kite! Colder countrys .... wetsuit boots gloves. Do not buy old kites ! Pre 2012.... good allrounder kite.... not a high end kite
