if you havent flown a kite before then id suggest getting a 3m ish training kite and have a fly before you step on a board. as with all kite sports, its 80% kite control and 20% board control.
I just got a 3m eolo kite, i'm learning to fly it with my mountainboard. One question, do you keep the kite always at the same height or do you move it up and down to gain power? Do you know where else i can find instructional videos or texts? Thanks! and great video! it really helped me out!
it all depends on the conditions, but to park and ride is the goal, but if you dont have enough power you can work the kite to generate more power ie move it up and down . have a google for the progression series of dvd's
if you are comfortable flying the kite on the water then you can also use it on land, but take it out in less wind then you would for the water. id drop 5-10 mph off your top end
Any chance you could do a video about landboarding upwind? I'd be particularly interested to see the position of the kite in the wind window and a few comments on what to do with your weight distribution on the board. Also if you'd like to give me a free lesson on St Anne's beach anytime I can be there in 10 minutes!!
I tried a 6m ozone fury on landboard for first time today. I am having a little problem with keeping up with wind or the wind is not very good (5-8mph with gust up to 12mph). I also use handlers, when I turn kite from 12'ock, it drag me off a little too fast. Thinking of getting Ozone Turbo bar in a month or so. Meantime do you have any tip for my kite with handlers? Thanks!
not really, it all depends on flying it in the right winds for your weight and within your own abilities. my go to kite is a peter lynn arc. and at the minute im mostly flying the 18m phantom2
10 years old and still very helpful! Thx
Thanks Carltb. I'll try that. Very useful tips you're giving me.
Awesome Vid....simple and straight to the point

Thanx xarltb but I've never had any kite. I've just bought a windskate. Is a Kitesurf wing fine?
Just picked up a mountain board and finally think I'm ready to give it a go with my kites. Thanks for the tutorial!!
ok I'm gonna try it tomorrow thanks
@pudodrewculous NICE1. the footage is there but i think im going to start off with the basics and help people to walk before they can run!! lol.
Thanks for the vid. Just tested my landboard today. Tomorrow, I'm going to practice again. :-)
Vielen Dank =Thank you very much
Helped me out a lot!! thnx
Thanks for the video! I am driving Kitbuggy over 10 years but know i want to try ATB :D
Thank you so very much! I miss flying.I use to run Colt Park n Newport beach,Fog land some time in RI.,,,Till they pointed Guns!lol 73s
I got a kite for Christmas and I am waiting for a board to arrive so thanks for the tips hopefully goes well I can’t wait
Thanks alot for the great tips and thanks for sharing.
Keep the tutorials coming...and keep up the good work.
a 5.5m peter lynn twister would be a better option. the ace is cheap for a reason. poor quality and unstable

your kite size will depend on make , model and wind speed . if you can scud with it then you can board with it.

hey I weigh 95 pounds and have a 8meter kite for the water do you think that will be to much for landboarding
I imagine my 14m LEI kite would be a bit too large for landboarding...
it sounds like you are trying to go up wind too much. try following the kite for a few seconds longer before you carve upwind.
if you are comfortable flying the kite on the water then you can also use it on land, but take it out in less wind then you would for the water. id drop 5-10 mph off your top end
Excellent, simple instruction. Thanks ;0)
Excellent video. Wish I'd checked this out the first time I tried land boarding! About to try again, so this will help....
Very nice video. Thanks for posting it.
I've got problem with rolling board,I can start but I keep loosing wind almost instatly?
well it was better today but still i think I'm doing something wrong
Great video. Cheers
Nice one good vid shows a lot more then most vids
Thanks but how big should the kite be?
Great vid Carl.
Makes perfect sense to me who is just starting out.
tha was my first kite!! that's what the TB stands for - The Bullet!
glad to hear it dude!! next step is getting airbourne!!
what board do you have?
Any chance you could do a video about landboarding upwind? I'd be particularly interested to see the position of the kite in the wind window and a few comments on what to do with your weight distribution on the board.

Simon Duffy hi mate next time im about give me a shout and ill be happy to give you some pointers

I'm using PL Phantom 2 9 m
Great video :P subbed
Hi
hi can u use a 3m for landboarding thanks
Yes you can use a 3m to landboard. Actually, it's a great size kite to start out on
carltb good point, im using a scout III and it's perfect
can u do a vid about going upwind and changing direction?
I've already done one about transitions. And getting up wind is all about board angle and being powered
+Skie k i tend not to fly in off shore winds as they are gusty and unpredictable. it would just be like flying inland
+Skie k if the wind is too strong for your skill level then don't fly.
+carltb what kite did u use
Is that a Peter Lynn phantom?
No mate it's the charger
Ya, you are right.
