Kiteboarding Progression: 2 Advanced

The aim of this DVD is to cover a mixture of both hooked in and unhooked tricks. Kiteloops - The unhooked tricks start with the trick that most kitesurfer aspire too - the kiteloop. Here we ll show you that if you choose the right conditions and start simple, anyone can have a go at kiteloops and once you ve got the basics there s plenty of fun to be had! Board offs - Then we move on to the old school favorite of board offs, which may have become less fashionable over the last few years, but they offer little risk and loads of reward. Riding Blind - Finally we ll get your head around riding blind - a move that is somewhat of an exercise in contortion but loads of fun once you crack it. Unhooked: The aim with the unhooked series of chapters is initially to demistify what msny view as a part of kitesurfing that is only on offer to the young and reckless! When in fact, you just need a few pointers and it can start off being relatively effortless.

Kit setup and the basics - we start with some basic theory, equipment setup and how to unhook - not as straight forward as you might imagine. Popping and Raileys - Then its all about pop and how to progressively edge, keep that kite low and launch out of the water leading us nicely into Raleys. S-bends - We then take the next step on to from the raley and look at adding a forward rotation with the s-bend. Kiteloops and Downloops - Then its back to kiteloops (and downloops) just this time we re unhooked and dealing with a lot more power. Handlepasses - Surface, Dangle and Powered - Finally we lay the ground work for the basis of all advanced freestyle tricks - handle passes. We start off with passing the bar with out getting any air, with the surface handle pass, then give ourselves plently of time with the dangle pass before finishing up the DVD with an introduction to powered handle passes!
