Time and again I have seen that there is 1 variable that matters more than any other when it comes to how good a kitesurfer you become and how quickly you progress. It's not how much you know... It's not how many videos you watch or books you read... It's not how much time you spend studying... It's something totally different and totally under your control...and you are controlling it every day whether you pay attention to it or not. The link I mention: https://go.tantrumkitesurf.com/vsl

Buying a kite is an incredibly difficult decision for most.  Things are not made any easier by the fact that manufacturers deliberately describe them in generic language making it sound as if every kite does EVERYTHING well. In this episode I speak to Mike Birt of KTwo Distribution, one of the most knowledgeable chaps I know when it comes to kite design and the features you should be looking for in your next kite. In this episode we cover a HUGE amount including: The defining factor in ANY kite that will determine if it's the right kite for you Should you be sharing a kite with your partner?

Knock weeks of your time to learn to kitesurf: https://go.tantrumkitesurf.com/vsl In this months Q & A session I answer the following questions: Nick: 0:13 - For 100kg rider what sort of board would you recommend? Elisha: 2:08 - For some reason on my weak side when I waterstart I cant get the kite into the window and instead of diving forward is dives on the edge of the window and pulls me sideways instead of to the front, not sure what i'm doing different? Ben: 10:43 - In light winds after the water start the kite often hangs around 2 o clock and does not catch the wind so I fall back In the water. All the other guys are ok even with smaller kites so it’s a bit frustrating :) If you want to ask me your question head over to this page and either register for the call or leave me your message: https://www.tantrumkitesurf.com/question/

Most people think that it takes ages to ride upwind in kitesurfing.
