Product Description
This Kiteboarding book is with out a doubt the best book on kiteboarding available. There are no other kiteboard books or kiteboarding courses which even come close to offering the proven method that this kiteboarding book does. It is the Ultimate kite boarding book. No matter if you are interested in learning to kiteboard, kite surf, kite boat, or snow kite, this is the kite boarding book for you. It has easy to understand kite board lessons and review questions. About the book Kite Super Model Clarissa Hemple takes riders step by step through the safest way to teach and the quickest way to learn to kiteboard! This kite book shows riders how to avoid walking and getting tea bagged. Riders start at the kite with out bar or lines and learn how to capture a center of energy, then counterbalance it. Instead of progressing to the waterstart, riders learn the revolutionary Upwind Board Drag (UBD). The use of the board as a planing surface allows riders to travel upwind long before they ever waterstart. In the process, they learn the secrets of kite handling. The book also details expert action, the Maui to Molokai crossing, Kite boating, Snowkiting and a never before areial look at Maui Kite Beaches. The book concludes with kite specific water, wind and terminology glossaries. Be one of the first to offer the best kite book ever written!

 Great book for beginners October 6, 2008
Great book, a new method is taught by the writer. With this method, learning
kitesurfing and kiteboarding is much more safer. I highly recommend it.
 Why no DVD? September 2, 2007

Strangely enough, the words "Book-DVD-Online Certification" led me to believe a DVD was included with the book. The associated DVD is sold separately, making the book/DVD combo cost more than $50.

Excellent Book!!! Clearly written easy to understand. The GLL method is first rate and makes what can be dangerous a SAFE graduated learing experience. John's method of board dragging as a learning tool is also excellent!!! No one else promotes this; most talk only of body dragging. You CAN NOT go wrong with this book!!
