This DVD is over 2 hours long featuring the following:
Toeside riding
– looking at your technique both sliding round to toeside, but also
ensuring you can keep your speed up, control the power and ride along
effortlessly.
Carving turns
– here we’ll help you manage the critical syncronisation of your board
and kite movement, starting with Toeside to Heelside carves, and then on
to Heelside to Toeside.
Jumping
– Probably the most popular and fundemental trick in kitesurfing and
the Intermediate Volume 1 DVD will cover all aspects of this in vast
details. We start with small jumps, minimising the kite movement, and
here we have a vast array of common mistakes to help you diognose your
individual problems. Then its on to increasing your height and boosting
big airs. A completely new addition is an introduction to popping.
Leaving your kite parked and understanding how to edge to generate lift,
another key skill that will open the door to so much more in the
future.
Lightwind Riding
– we all have to kite in lighter winds as some point and if you want to
avoid frustration and make the most of the conditions then technique is
crucial. Wonder why you feel really powered up, in lightwinds, but
can’t stay upwind? You want to watch our segment on the theory of
apparent wind.
Strong winds
– When it blows hard you can get intimidating by the consequences of
your actions but with out 4 strong wind tips we’ll give you the control
to start releshing some of the most fun conditions kitesurfing has to
offer.
Coping with Waves
– Though you may have learnt in flat water, plenty of locations throw
up some daubting waves that stands between you and a great session.
Learn how to survive and get out through the breakers.
Tuning your kit
– Modern kites will generally work well straight out of the bag, but
there are small adjustments that can be made to change the flying
characterists of some kites or the way your bar works. And over time you
may find your lines need to be adjusted, both to tune your kite but
also to fix some problems – something that can be a headache, so we
cover it all in detail, so you’ll come to fully understand how your
lines interact with the kite and bar.
Each chapter is built around our established Progression Method, which has proved successful over the past 7 years and 7 Progression DVDs. Detailed technique breakdown, common problem analysis, split screens, slow motion repeats and graphic overlays – all proven at aiding faster development.
