Why The Waterstart Is Not Your Real Problem

In todays episode we look at the factors that normally go unconsidered but in my experience are more important in determining whether this session will be the one where you finally crack the waterstart and get riding.

Including:

  • The hidden factors that go into determining whether you’ll ever actually ride
  • The things you should be working on before you even think about attempting the waterstart
  • How to make your waterstarting practice exponentially easier

And much more.

The Most Important Factor To Rapidly Progress Your Kitesurfing

In today’s podcast we talk about what in my opinion is the most important factor in determining how rapidly you progress in your kitesurfing…this isn’t anything technical or physical but is the no 1 determining factor in whether you become a kitesurfing god or goddess or not.

So we cover amongst other things:

– How Mother Nature actually has your back on this (I know mother nature actually helping us kitesurfers out for once…amazing!)
– How the simple word “yet” is possibly the most powerful word in our language as kitesurfers
– How your head will break apart before the brick wall does and what this teaches us about how we learn kiting
