Kite Super Model Clarissa Hemple takes riders step by step through the most effective path from entry to expert riding! In the KITEs Method, there is no walking and no tea bagging. Riders start at the kite with out bar or lines and learn how to capture a center of energy, then counterbalance it.

The use of the board as a planing surface allows riders to travel upwind long before they ever waterstart. Category: Media   Tags: Books 2006 instructional   Comments: 0
