Thanks mate appreciated!! :)

Thanks 🤩🥰

I am on it. Upwind tutorial is on the way!

Totally the best ❤

whohwoohwo you too kind. but I can accept it! Thanks dude :)

@@EpicGust watched too many videos and by far yours is the best

Agree 1000%. Best water start explanation by far.

That is honestly the best waterstart tutorials ever!! Thank you so much. Pls more vids. Next step turn around. It is a big secret for beginners like me

@@EpicGust It’s by far and large, the best one still. Excellent work, really.

wow man. you made my day. :)) i am honored!

LAmbo is good. Once you know how to us it :D

Thanks bud! Really looking forward to hear how it worked for you!

Thanks mate! Appreciate it!

No mate, You are my hero. Glad it worked 💪💪👌 keep it up!

THnaky bud, keep it going :)

let me know where can we exchange it for gold. I am interested :DD

Thank you so much!! I dont! (why would I? :D )

Awesome! Thank you! keep on shredding, we all look up at you!

Thanks mate, working on it

Let me know how it goes!

BINGO! SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT :))

@@EpicGust can you maybe make a video about switching direction on the board?

Mate, you far.from be old. Keep rocking! Met a guy not so long ago. He was 75yrs old independent kiter, jumping and all... Told me he started it 20 years ago! Both knees replaced, he was limping and walking slow. But once he was on the water he got wings. 20years ago kites were well ... Different, least to say! So you have a great career in front. Enjoy!

That's makes me so happy , i can't even explain how glad I am 😁

Steve that means the world to me Thanks for.sharing. and even more thanks for going back in the water🙏🙏🙏

Ah man thanks for this, I am glad I was able to give that extra bit to your learning! Let me know how it goes once temperature let's you do it!!

Thanks :)

Thanks Karen :)

Glad it was helpful!

And? Are you nog kiting?

thanks! i am glad every time it makes it click to someone! :)

Best of luck!

Give us a real life feedback about that! :) I am curious how it works through the youtube. It does work in life :)

Wow, thanks!

Nice! We going to Sicily too end of September! Are you going to be there?

Epic Gust Why not! It would be nice to spend a couple of days at Stagnone!

Funny - it will stick. Useful - goes a long way. What else should I add?

I am not sure what you mean, but hell yeah, I record real life stuff :)

Hope you will make more tutorials

I am on it! Have you seen the Kite Crash Mondays??

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it helped you!

Yoo I am excited! Just keep the pace slow. Try different strength power strokes first without the board then really follow those just stand up sit down steps for a good 10times before committing to a longer ride. She will be there! Let me know! Btw I am not yet in Costa Rica, first Brasil and now lake Como! Just before you get her on the post office 😅🤙🤙

Thats true but i theach it this way for a good reason - If you do stretch your leg in the water already and you not quick enough to send the stroke you will start turning one way.. same if you ride stop - sink- and keep thenfront leg straight- you twist immediately. The start and the finish position therefore has to be the ball like one. Thats my experience with many students.

I appreciate that! :DD

Agree mate! Once they stopped the ride, it is time to push the bar away, also once they gain speed. But something next step. I tried to focus on just waterstart. Oversheeting only possible if the lines are not in the right length or the wind is light.

Thanks Nathalie 🥰

So? Did it work?

Haha thanks , I love it too 😍

I hope it too! :) Same for you Marc!

Thanks a ton!

More to come!

Thanks, Winkley! SHortly - despite what it looks like for you, your problem isn't the board. If you are able to create just enough power then with a bit of a balance, and body swing you up and riding. When you zoom downwind with the light of speed you used way too much power - obviously. i just run a free lesson section on my other video, go ahead apply, and I lead your through in detail!

thank you :) i try my best, since it i s a full time job for me :)

let me know how it goes!!!

Thanks mate. At what level you are in kiting?

COngrats yu riding solo! Cool stuff :) In my experience, wakeboard helps but not that much as we would think. And the reason is the following - on wakeboard you are on the board pretty much till you follow the cable. Slight edging, so you follow the pull. If you do this in the kite you either will lose power and get slack on the lines or (if you keep moving the kite consistently to don't make the first stated mistake) you end up going downwind. In kitesurf basically, you consistently "brake" or edge. If you able to get enough power doing just standup and short braked rides, once you stand with a slightly stretched leg you will almost go crosswind if not upwind - as you started the whole thing with feeling the need for leaning back. Wakeboarders tend to lean back towards the end of the board, not towards the heelside edge- they do that only in turns or before raleys. It is not easy to make them unlearn this habit! The so called balance need to created here by creating power + get up and lean on your harness (brake/edge with the board and that will make you do that). For some people - i do suggest to go to wakeboard, but fairly this is less than 10%! If you use the kite right and you do the same with your body i suggest you will get there in 10-15 tries! It is all about your instructor actually. Proper guidance will take you there without the wake experience. Keep riding, and if u like give a go to this method(or tell to a waterstarting friend), you might will understand my point too :) Enjoy the powerzone!

@@EpicGust Nice to see your response :) I agree with you about the movement, of course is completley different in the 2 disciplines, infact I did not say learn to wake very good, my point was that if you try just a few times wakeboard to get the balance, at least you have the feeling of water below you, that is a completley new sensation for a lot of beginner...when you start to kite I notice that your main focus is on the kite, so it is difficult to understand what you are doing wrong with your lower body part. Of course I just started so I can not teach anything, my opinion it's based on my personal experience, but for me the balance over the board wasn't a problem at all :) ....instead I saw a lot of people (on my spot or on youtube) unable to stand up and being thrown directly downwind (the direction of the pull) exacly what happens the first time you try wake, when you have no balance. Surely this is just my opinion :) In conclusion I believe that having just a little idea of what the balance over water is going to be, can lead you to faster improvement, because you can focus more on the kite...I mean, for me was easy to change my posture and adapt from wake to kite, but as I said I am not a pro wakeboarder, I don't have any particular habit. A really good suggestion for any beginner about any activity is: don't do what it works for you at the moment, follow the right tecnique, always ...so for example you learn wake, pay attention to the differences between wake and kite, ask your instructor, and apply the right tecnique, even if you are able to go anyway (probably you are less smoother than what you think you are). I will enjoy the powerzone thx, nice videos btw, I am from Italy, maybe I will try Como or Garda, I saw your rewiew!!! Ciao!

@@leonardo8461 Of course i reply :D this topic is my life i love to change ideas! In fairness - i did exactly the same, went to wakeboarding like 10 times before dared to take my kite skills on the water. i was a land kiter and waaay afraid of water back in time. I was a self-taught guy too so that might be the reason :D LEt me know if you around! :) Have a good one!

@@EpicGust Surely I let you know! :D

The practice the 5x probably the most important! We all tend to rush things!

Funny so you can remember! Learning dry stuff is the worst! That is my idea :)

Thanks mate 😊

Welcome aboard! now two years later you must be sending it with the denmark conditions!!

Zen buddies! 🧘

Welcome 😊

DUDE! You are welcome!:)

SO that tomorrow was yesterday. HOW WAS IT?? :))

Anytime :) Enjoy the powerzzone :)

Thank you!

Appreciate it! I will talk to the god damn DJ. He always want to steal the show! 😅

Glad it helped! Enjoy the Powerzooone!

@@EpicGust I'm just trying to learn kite.... first lesson next week... hope I will be able to...

I did it, have you seen it??

Haha 🤣 the good thing is that you don't have to put much effort in that.

Fck. Just cut mine. Well guess i'll be learning how to waterstart next year

😂

My pleasure!

Thank you!

Is that cos my english is bad or the audio? Or too fast? I am here to learn!

Hey Santiago! MY best advice to you is not to overstress the leg position - if you talking about the position after standing up. THat stretched leg is a subtle change. it is way more important to get the power of the kite correctly 10 out of 10 times. Most of my studs tend to over do this leg thing and that is absolutely unnecessary (just like overdo the leaning back or other stuff) Get up 10 times in a row. And after that (all your muscle mem is built up well) in your mind focus on your leg to extend it like 10% more. That will do the job! Keep us updated!

@@EpicGust awesome thanks for the tip, going in the water again tomorrow.

you are welcome mate! hope it helps :)

Thank you!

Pitter Pit, thanks for all your comments it is really hearth warming! :)) I am on the upwind section so soon, i can promise some new stuff :) If you happen to be in italy once, dont forget to catch up with us!
