Fat Sand Productions have updated and will shortly release a new edition of their best selling 'Kiteboarding Beginner' instructional DVD, bringing quality instructional content to the hundreds of new beginners eager and excited to learn our amazing sport.Featuring all the new types of kit available on the market today (c, bow, hybrids and delta, four and five line kites) and filmed in the beautiful backdrop of Sharm El Sheikh with two of the UK's most talented and accredited kitesurfing coaches Christian Harris and Karine Navital.
The DVD has been completely re-shot with clearer, high quality footage and many more angles. The filming and editing style still bear all the much loved progression trademarks; detailed technique breakdown, common problem analysis, split screens, slow motion repeats and graphic overlays - all proven at aiding faster development.
The techniques and tricks covered in this DVD are now much more focused around the specific needs of beginners in those critical first stages of development. Rather than squeezing a fast progression to jumps and carves within the 2.5hrs running time, we have included a greater depth of coverage and analysis of those key beginner stumbling blocks such as water starts and up wind riding.
Rob Claisse, CEO of Fat Sand, describes this key decision; "We wanted to focus on equipping beginners with solid set of skills, knowledge and technical know how, helping to develop a generation of competent and confident riders in our sport. So many people get frustrated and rush through these vital stages, leaving holes in their knowledge which hold them back later down the line. We wanted to offer a complete learning resource that could support beginners at every step of their progression and get them up and riding as quickly and as safely as possible, to then progress onto intermediate tricks and techniques which feature in a new intermediate volume 1 DVD." (release date late-September)
The Progression kiteboarding Beginner DVD contains over 2.5 hours of content, with chapters on equipment & terminology, kite setup, launching & landing, water re-launch and self rescue, body dragging, water starts and first runs, staying up wind and sliding turns.
The drive and focus behind the Progression DVD's has always been to help people move forward, stay motivated and get the most out of their sport. Six years and many DVD sales later we are proud to be doing just that but don't take our word for it, hear what just some of our beginner customers have had to say:
