Highly recommended training tool! Louis
Shepherd
I love this DVD - it covers everything I needed to know about
kiteboarding! It does say in the DVD that you should get a
few lessons but I think if you have the kite skills already
- you should be able to learn how to kiteboard from this DVD!
Loads of tutorials, easy to understand and
the pausing is nice and sharp on my DVD player! Highly recommended
training tool and would be a great buy as a refresher course,
christmas present or someone interested
to see how easy it is to get going in the world of kiteboarding!
