or just making your next session more enjoyable!
This Intermediate Volume 1 DVD is not a replacement for the
current Intermediate DVD but fits perfectly between it and
the Beginner 2nd Edition.
Stunning photography presents each manoeuvre
in perfect clarity. Coupled with presentational techniques
and learning oriented extra features section, you’ll
gain a deeper understanding of each manoeuvre than you ever
thought possible.
The DVD will cover 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. Starting 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? Watch the segment on the theory
of apparent wind.
- Strong Winds
– When it blows hard you can get intimidated by the
consequences of your actions but with 4 strong wind tips,
this DVD will give you the control to start relishing 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, this DVD cover it all in detail, so you’ll
come to fully understand how your lines interact with the
kite and bar.
