Here is what you will see in the film:

Beginner > Chapter 1

01. Introfilm
In the introfilm you will get a preview of what's to come.
Everything from the basic tricks till the advanced sections.

06. Trimming the kite
By trimming the length of the lines you regulate the kites power.
All the how's and what's are covered.

You will learn how to release your kite by using your leash-system.
You also get the full tour of the best there is, the UDS system, with it's designer Chris Barrs

08. Bodydragging
Entering the water with the kite, to learn more about the kites power.

Being in the water keeps you safer from hurting yourself on hard surfaces

Intermediate> Chapter 10

10. Waterstart
Getting up on your board for the first time is not difficult if you follow these procedures.
We'll take you there, step by step until you are standing on the board and planing.

You will also learn some cool quickstarts from the pros.

11. Water relaunch
In the beginning everyone crashes their kite in the water.
Here we show you how to get it out of the water, and flying again.

12. Retrieving the board
You will loose your board in the water after falling or crashing on jumps.
But don't worry, this is what you do to retrieve it.

Bodydragging upwind to get to your board.

13. Going upwind
Just like sailboats kiteboarders zigzag slowly into the wind.
You won't master it, the first couple of sessions.

But take your time and practise these techniques and you will do it in no time.

14. Turning
You will need to ride in both directions to come back to shore.
We are happy to teach you how to turn and go in the opposite direction

15. Passing other riders
Two can be a crowd if you don't know how to navigate properly.
By applying these rules you will maximize the space, so everyone can have a ball.

16. Rescue techniques
If you get into trouble in the open sea, the selfrescue will be handy to know.

And now and then, someone may loose their kite or board and not be able to retrieve it.
Here is what you do to help out.

17. Under/overpowered
If you get a little too much power in your kite you may be able to ride anyway, this is overpowered techniques.
In low wind you need to use all the kites potentiale to create more power to get you going.
Clever tricks from the masters make it all possible.

18. Jumping
Ahhh airtime, this is what almost all kiteboarders enjoy the most.
Soaring up in the sky, gliding over the water, make a smooth landing and doing it again.

The jumping techniques will help you to boost big airs, with some practise of course.

19. First tricks
After you have nailed your jumps and landings, it's time to do some tricks.
Here is some you can start with.

20. Grabs
Grabs comes from skate and snowboarding but looks good also in kiteboarding.

Advanced > Chapter 21

21. Rotations
Loops and spins, front and back it's all here.
From the easy stuff until quite enough.

22. Transitions
Not just a turn, but a cool turn with a little jump and a trick added.

When you master all these tricks you are a good rider, for sure

23. Boardoff tricks
Taking your board off in the air and putting it back on looks extremely difficult.
Is it really that hard? Look here and we'll show you how to do it step by step.

24. Kiteloops
Danger-danger, this is a high powered trick.
Beginners should not even comsider this one. But nevertheless we will explain how you do it.

25. Riding blind
Riding blind has nothing to do with clsoing your eyes. It's more of a toeside backwards kind of stance.
You have to see it.

26. Handlepass
Ooo,aaahhhh this one has injury potential on your shoulders.
If you do this the right way it's ok
The wrong way hurts like .... well you can imagine.
Anyway if you wanna try it, here's the best way to get started

27. waveriding
