Hi,
Couldn't find anything in the search.
Is there a good dvd for the different techniques on kite wave riding? Just getting into it after 2 years kiting (and 10 surfing), and want to progress as fast as possible. I found the progression series excellent for freesytle and am wondering if there is anything as good for waves.
Cheers,
Tom
Ben Wilson has one out.. I am not sure what its called but i have seen it and i would suggest just get out there and practice.. movies don't teach you squat.
Its called SMACK... I dunno Milko I reckon watching how the pros go about it can teach you a lot!! Then you have to go practice tho.
Cheers guys,
Not sure if it's the same with wave kiting. But I found watching the DVDs on freestyle unbelievable helpfull. Especially with unhooking and downloops. Obviously practice is the most important, but I think it's good to have knowledge of how to do it.
Cheers,
Tom
Real Kiteboarding have had one out for a while now:
www.realwatersports.com/collections/kiteboarding?id=1237&page=newsitem
Parts of it are pretty basic, doesn't quite have the level of detail of the Fat Sand Progression style DVD's, but it's not too bad.
Cheers,

while on the subject of dvd's.... I have a 1 day old Progression DVD (professional) that i would love to swap for a Progression (advanced) the shop guy talked me into this one but its way outta my league.... Or i will swing Beverages for a burnt copy!!
Unfortunately I spent the money for "Smack". I dont really have a surfing background but many years of windsurfing. For me it was a waste of money. I thought it might be useful for someone that has no experience with waves at all. I had been espacially curious about unhooked waveriding but there is hardly anything about that in it. What helped me much more was watching other peoples videos. Espacially from guys like Felix Pivec, Reo Stevens, Ian Allridge and such.
