Failing is part of the game and I have a high amount of crashes during my sessions. Most of them are mellow, others hurt a bit more. Learn from them and try again

Refreshing to see. Hear so many guys in kiting say they never crash, are bored and switch to winging, but they never tried anything more than cruising for fear of looking uncool crashing

Oh yes, I can totally imagine that. It makes such a difference if you're willing to crash and keep on trying new things.

@2:33: DO A KICKFLIP! This was fantastic. It's nice to see that in between all the perfect executions there's many attempts that don't always work out and that it's ok to fall.

I can imagine that this video made you feel better. We've all been beginners and when we try something new it often involves many crashes! You'll be surprised about the amount of crashes I go through before I land a new trick.

That's for sure! There is a big difference between crashing with control and crashing out of control. Most of the crashes you see here are with control (I know what the kite is doing and what position I'll be in when I hit the water)

Formula for learning new trick: 1. Watch SA Masterclass Video 2. Crash repeatedly 3. Return to 1 multiple times. 4. Finally master the trick. 5. Return to SA Masterclass for next trick tutorial
