Best tip for me as a beginner (just hurt my knee from going uncontrollably too fast) is "try not to pick up too much speed in the first place" . It's a lot better to sink trying to edge/upwind having less speed than needed, rather than pick up too much speed and then start throwing hail Marys. Cheers for the channel, it's been more helpful than many of my lessons.

Fantastic explanation. Regards from Cape Town 🇿🇦

Thank you!! I will try, when the quarantine is over in Europe... Hopefully soon... Stay save and healthy everybody!!!

Hi Luke. I don’t need to learn that for years but it reminds me my beginner experience 🤓when I just made waterstart after my third lesson...I immediately enjoyed speeding at 30km/h on the water (18mph) 😎when I realized that nobody showed me how to use the brake🤭🥴 So the great interest of your vid during fast progression to avoid running at same speed on the beach to the car park🥶

Just wanted to say this was really helpful

I need this, while I'm riding I hit a small wave, lose my edge, speed up to lightspeed and can't slow down

thanks a lot, i really needed these tips couldn't find it anywhere :) lovely beach, looks even better when you are stuck inside your flat for a month, keep the videos coming :)

Luke, greetings from North Dakota, USA. Hardly a mecca of kite boarding despite how much wind we have here. About to get my first rig this week. Been watching your videos for over a year, as well as other tubers. Love your vids, you are a great teacher. I only hope when I hit the water I'll at least remember a fraction of all the knowledge you've put out on your channel. If I do, I'll progress quickly and safely. Thanks buddy 🤙😀

So well explained, Bravo

Thanks so much Luke for your helpful tips and awesome videos! As a beginner this is really great!

Awesome as always Luke missed all you’re videos 🙏💯💯💯💯all the best from the Highlands of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You’re a great instructor!!! I wish I could come take lessons from you but I can’t so I thank you very much for these great videos!!I have learned a lot of skills and am able to use them now. Please keep up the great work!!🤙🏼

so stoked on your vids thanks for the tip mate!!

And last thing before ejecting the chicken loop. Let go of the bar. A kite by itself will either go to 12 or to the edge of the window. Calm yourself and try again.

one issue I had was that edging to slow down is difficult in waves. not all places have nice flat water in good wind conditions. it's sort of the same problem in snowboarding if you try to carve uphill and the slope is destroyed by all riders during the day :) so after some crap sessions due to this I moved to a flat water spot and suddenly could practice my speed control much better.

Great Video guys! Flukes rocks!

Wonderful explanation and very clear..excellent and thanks man

Great tips thank you. Very impressive with your explanations

Thanks that's really helpful... I was doing exactly what I shouldn't have been doing 🤣
