Dissclaimer: many people think you need to learn with a trainer kite and take at least 5 hours of lessons before you can try on your own. Use this video at your own risk.
Also the video generated a lot of feedback from experienced kiters which you can find on google. The main issue is the leash, many people are religious about always attaching a leash and most of them don't know what they are talking about. 1. always use leash on c kite, or on a 5 line kite, on a bow you can get away without one 2. always try to choose an empty beach with noone around and low wind. then you dont need a leash. if wind is strong or there are people you need a leash. 3. leash on a bow is complicated and dangerous. make sure you test out landing the kite on a leash if you do decide to use it before going out. understand what is a suicide configuration and why is it called so. If you have to pull the red thing in an emergency leash will prevent the kite from flying into people on the beach and killing them. The leash part is skipped in this video.
Kitesurfing 101 part 1 of 2. This 20 minutes video will almost ensure that if you order your equipment online and turn up at your local beach you have a chance of going home with unbroken bones and your kite intact. Avoid accidents and crash, take lessons if you can.

Spot on freestyle379. Just a pity there are so many "Experts" that can't give credit to someone helping others get into the sport with "A little heads up" advice. Wanker's!
this guy is awesome. haha. most of you posting comments take things a little too seriously. i know it is a dangerous sport and is to be taken seriously but really? take it easy
This guy is a riot! Very entertaining video and fun to watch. Too bad some people take everything so seriously and can't spell or control their little minds in print . . . . . Way to go Siilats, thanks for the chuckles!
i think hes right on the money kite lessons r expensive but if you r going to lern on youre own than youse a bow kite still its a little sketchi i got ripped out of the water and launched in the air ,lucky for me i was in the middle of a bay under intruction and not on the beach bye myself
helloOOOOOoooo what are the instructors for ? U go do a lesson or 2 with a trainer kite and if ur too cheap start listening to this guy :D (and may I point out that not all things he says are true ... some of them are jokes ... like "u should buy a used kite"BAAD idea)
with the money you have saved by not having professionl tuition, stongly advise you to purchase thirdparty insurance and medical insurance YOU WILL NEED BOTH
IF YOU ARE TO CHEAP TO TAKE LEASSONS YOU ARE A FUCKTARD THAT SHOULD NOT BEE KITING!
This video IS BULLSHIT!! Second part is MORE BULLSHIT... Dissclaimer: many people think you need to learn with a trainer kite and take at least 5 hours with a trainer to bee competent to kitesurf. More like 15-50+ hours with a trainer kite. Fly the trainer untill you can LITERALLY fly it blindfolded-no joke! Then you are ready to take LESSONS FROM A QUALIFIED IKO/PASA INSTRUCTOR.
LOOOLZ I smell a looser xD u are such a dickheaded retard ! Actually I was training with a trainer kite 4 about ... 2 hours MAX and I'm not hurt (if ur worried about that ur a pussy and a looser) and I even thing that they kept me going slow ... training 4 ten days (total) just to get on the water is for retards and I hope the rest of u are not like this annoying retarded brat :) thanks ^^
Can you even kiteboard dipshit? I doubt it! Idiots like you should be lined up put aginst the wall & delt with so the rest of us can enjoy the sport without fear of F tards like you breeding & creating more idiots like yourself
