Progression is a well-produced and informative product. Even though I have yet to kiteboard (weather conditions were not favorable), I feel as though I'm ready to master the kiteboard. In this DVD, you will learn everything up to jumping and soaring through the air. It's certified by IKO. So, it may just as well be the training plan you will use at any reputable kiteboarding school. If you plan to kiteboard, I suggest reviewing this DVD a few times before you go. As a result, you will enjoy training even more.

I did not like it, fell short of instructions, the kiteschool DVD [..] OR [..] is much better. It's a French made DVD but available in English in the US, they go slower, deeper and further in the instructions.

If your learning how to kiteboard than this DVD is for you!!! Start here then go to a trainer kite. Easier to throw out a few bucks for a DVD then an entire kite if you realize this isnt for you.

I'm new to the sport of kiteboarding and wanted an instructional video that would allow me to learn the basics prior to my first lessons. This DVD did an excellent job of taking the viewer (me) step-by-step through the fundamentals of kiteboarding. I really enjoyed the split screen feature that shows the positioning of the kite while simultaneously showing a close-up of the kiteboarder during every technique. I also enjoyed the segments of the common mistakes one will experience while kiteboarding. I went back and watched them after my lessons and learned what I was doing wrong. Lastly, I videotaped my first lessons so I could compare my positioning and technique to the this instructional DVD. Since lessons are very expensive, I feel this DVD was a good value for me as it allowed the instructor to accelerate through segments I already knew from watching the video and spend more time on areas that I was having more difficulty grasping and answer questions the video didn't cover.

The only slight criticism I have is the background music during transitions to the next segment. I found that it gets annoying but this is easily fixed by hitting the mute button and then turning the sound back on when instruction is being provided. I highly recommend buying this instructional DVD to supplement the learning experience with kiteboarding lessons. I have also purchased the next videos in the Progression series as I aspire to advance and improve my riding skills and don't want to pay for expensive lessons to accomplish this.

This is the best training video for Kite Sailing. My wife and I watch it before we go out for a session. Highly recommended.

This DVD is the best I have seen in clearly showing you how to Kite board. It is worth every penny.

DVDs are not a substitute for professional training. Kites can be very powerful and dangerous. I have not found a better series of training videos than these and I have purchased several over the years. You will want at least the beginner and intermediate volume 1 in your collection if you are relatively new in this sport. There are good tips to help you advance and to correct your mistakes.

I bought a few other DVDs. This one is so well made that it really will help you as you take your lessons. After a few hours with an instructor you can kick back and watch this to understand what went wrong and how to do it better. OF COURSE it shows you common mistakes. How else can you learn?
