Hooked in railey, also known as gayley

Generally useful website with trick tutorials :
kite-skills.com/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=54

There is also a book, "Kitesurfing: The complete guide" by Kristin Boese, which explains heaps of tricks.

If you want to get a DVD then i'd highly recommend the Kiteboarding Progression series. I've got the Intermediate and Advanced DVD's and they go through each trick step by step looking at what you need to be doing with the kite, the board, body position and common mistakes.

If you want to see the style of teaching they've put a few sample tricks on YouTube.

The Kristin Boese book is great and shows a lot of good tricks to help you progress quickly. I think she now allso has a DVD out which can allso help.

On Itunes if you do a search there is a trick guide for kiteboarding which describes the basic trickis and i allso think it has videos of the moves. Its not a huge app or very expensive but should give you the fundamentals of kiteboarding tricks. I havent got it yet. If anyone has Whats it like.

Allso Real kite boarding have some good movies with trick tips, or just get on utube and there is a lot of good info about the tricks you are trying to lean.

The kite skills one looks good.

Here's another www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=kitefilm&e=com

IMO Darren Marshals AKS site is good as far as describing tricks.

The Kristin Boese book has a chapter for beginners, then safety, gear, and another one about wave kiting.
But most of the time it explains tricks (very well presented), and it gets up to blind judge, kiteloop double backroll, f-16, kiteloop to blind, unhooked downloop s-bend..
So at least I have not outgrown this book yet.

About the Real dvds: The first two are fantastic for beginners! Joyride is produced very well also, but is not particularly advanced - boosting with grabs, back- and frontrolls, that's it. Probably the triple s covers more advanced tricks?

Kristin now has 9 or it might be 10 world kitesurfing titles under her belt in freestyle, wave riding and course racing. I think everyone can learn a lot from her! You can get kristin's books and dvd's from here http://www.kristinboese.com/merchandise/orders-in-australia-new-zealand-asia.html


please I know 5 riders at my spot that can ride better than her....

If the book is anything like the way she coaches - I'm sure it will be awesome. She has a great way of explaining things and gives alot more back to the sport than people realise.

I like the progression series and the Hadlow progression pro DVD might be worth a look for those riders pulling better moves than in Kristin's book.

Step 1: Make sure your kite is set to warp speed
Step 2: Sail out to where there are waves and ride out past the break
Step 3: Ride in edging hard upwind, make sure to use kite power at all times
Step 4: pull in front of the wave edge hard upwind and make it look like your about to pull in.
Step 5: Pose for photo op
Step 6: Set control bar to fishing status and get out of there before the wave might break on you.
