[@hooplernono7033]

It takes way more work, to make this instruction for such interesting video,thank you!

[@kitingholger9826]

Very well explained! You guys really know how to make explanatory video!. One comment: VDWS teaches in their schooles that the lines are called frontlines and backlines. I personally do not like this concept and prefer the terms steering lines and centerlines, or some call them powerlines.

Great vids, are you an actual kiting school? If so where are you based?

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hi. I used to run a kiting school, but now I make kitesurf resources full time. I'm based in south africa. I might do some lessons or coaching some time, but still very busy trying to cover all important topics.

[@joynermark]

Тяжело смотреть. Постоянно отвлекался на девку.

When I learned how to kite, the chicken stick was called a donkey dick. I guess chicken stick is more politically correct.

That’s right, less offensive to donkies
