Everything you NEVER knew about kitesurfing kites

Kitesurfing Kites

Buying a kite is an incredibly difficult decision for most. 

Things are not made any easier by the fact that manufacturers deliberately describe them in generic language making it sound as if every kite does EVERYTHING well.

In this episode I speak to Mike Birt of KTwo Distribution, one of the most knowledgeable chaps I know when it comes to kite design and the features you should be looking for in your next kite.

In this episode we cover a HUGE amount including:

  • The defining factor in ANY kite that will determine if it’s the right kite for you
  • Should you be sharing a kite with your partner?
  • What you should be looking for in your kite.

And a heck of a lot more, in fairness I learnt a LOT in this talk and I imagine you will to. So if you’re interested to know more about this fascinating topic tune in, kick back.

Which board size should I be using, more waterstart woes and more…

In this months Q & A session I answer the following questions:

Nick: 0:13 – For a 100kg rider what sort of board would you recommend?

Elisha: 2:08 – For some reason on my weak side when I waterstart I cant get the kite into the window and instead of diving forward is dives on the edge of the window and pulls me sideways instead of to the front, not sure what i’m doing different?

Ben: 10:43 – In light winds after the water start the kite often hangs around 2 o clock and does not catch the wind so I fall back In the water.

All the other guys are ok even with smaller kites so it’s a bit frustrating 🙂

Enjoy!

Massively Improve Your Kitesurfing Now

There is a load of new science coming out at the moment that points to a much smarter way to improve our kitesurfing performance.

Scientists have realised that we have 2 brains (well kind of…it’s a good way of thinking about it).

1 of these brains is blooming amazing at kitesurfing, (you’re born with this brain, ready to go, but probably don’t know how to “activate” it) the other one is rubbish and will stop the brain that is amazing from doing it’s job.

Gobbledegook?

Maybe…

But I do explain all in this video…
