When will part 2 be on here?
What Is Islam?
Islam is not just another religion.
It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
{ “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)
Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

You guys honestly have the most comprehensive kiteboarding guide videos out there, pleas keep up the work! I would love to see a video on loop progression steps resulting in a full kite loop/mega loop.
Thanks for another great video. I'm a beginner who's trying to figure out jumps. I think you're skimming over one key detail though: As you lean upwind right before sending the kite to 12 oclock, you sheet all the way out to create more room to pull the bar in for the boost. (As seen at 1:05 and 1:25)
Probably the best kitesurf jump tutorial that has ever been made!
That little face of "panic" he makes at 4:37 … shows you how good of an instructor this guy is.
Clear, concise and simple graphics. Well done.
Online, you guys by far have the most detailed oriented content for kitesurfing, I have been following each and every video you posted from being an absolute beginners to now being able to kite freely with the ability to perform some of the tricks with huge appreciation to your videos. the fact that you separate each part of the movement to the bar, board, kite, body position is just a pleasure to watch and to educate my self.
Before my kite sessions, I love to watch and rewind some of your videos to get my focus on it and it definitely helps to sharpen my skills.
Thank you guys, I hope to keep getting better and you are a great part of it, please keep up the great content!
I really like the high still camera angle when the kiter comes across the view. Great tutorials folks. Keep it up!
Best instructional
Video for jumping helped me out a ton. I was pulling in on bar too early wasn't waiting for kite to reach twelve and it was always pulling me off my edge which was frustrating me. Long lower jumps is all I could achieve until I watched this vid thanks. Now sending it fast and flying high.
This is such a great tutorial. Covers so much and is clear as a bell
Cheers Will
this is high quality teaching
Clearest video ever on jumping, thanks a lot!
This is without a doubt the most concise video on jumping!!! I have been jumping for a month now but my consistency has been lacking. Some good & clean and others poor & piddly. I see now that it is most likely my timing and also that I am not holding my upwind edge enough. Seeing the jump from the overhead perspective with the bar movements
really helps me understand the mechanics! Very grateful for this tutorial!!! 😘
Best explanation ever. Specially the last part where talks about leaving the bar out to raise the kite.
Thanks iuripl. Yes, lots of people pull the bar in early. Then there's almost no chance to keep you edge.
Finally, a thorough video on jumping. Very well made. Thank you.
Thankyou Neyvin. When I have time, I will make a 2nd part with more detail and a focus on jumping higher.
U did all the kind of jumps and mistakes 4 showing us THANK U!!!! i really got it! Can´t wait to finylly put some "balls" and try my first jump :D all the best 4 u there reading me !
Thanks for the great video. The simultaneous representation of the bar position, wind direction, and bird's eye view communicates a rather complicated subject very well
First jumps today! Thank you!!
Congratulations, nothing beats that first-jump feeling.
Cool what can you do after two years?
Excellent video! Perfect timing for me as I am trying to learn small jumps. Keep 'em coming. Thanks!
Great video, thank you! Can't wait to try jumping!
super clear and all the details well explained and illustrated. Top job!
Excellent tutorial, I will apply this to my Landboarding. Thanks and Subscribed!
Great tutorial! Please, make part 2/ Very excited
I was so inspired by your videos, so i made a russian translate in subtitres, hope it helps many russian guys to learn jumping, thanks to you for the quality you make!
Thankyou for that. I've made the translation available in the subtitles.
Thank you for this great video as well as the rest of them.
THANKS so much for this tutorial! Amazing job!
Such a good video, the aerial camera angle where you can see everything is massively helpful, good work :-)
well presented and much informative ...thanks guys
Excellent video as always. Thanks.
Thankyou.

What I love about your videos is the opposite of what I hate about most kiteboarding tutorials. I can watch 10,000 videos about "how" to jump or exactly "what" to do, and still suck at it. You guys talk a lot about how it "feels" to do it right, and that's way more valuable than the details about the exact steps involved. Great work again!
the jump at 2m:58s was perfect bar and board control. pull it in a little as you angle left, let it out as it starts loading up, boost your board windward, then pull the bar as you jump and pull in the bar! skyward, yeah :)
Great video !!! Very clear and easy to understand ! It will probably help me a lot with the mistakes I made doing jumps. Where is part 2 though ? Waiting for it with impatience ! Keep up the great job !
Very good tutorial, thank you!
Your videos are soooo good... thank you a lot!!!
Awesome tutorial and filming
Thankyou.
Please upload part 2 and thanks for this amazing video 🤙😀
When will part 2 be released? Would love the see what tips you guys give for higher jumps!
Great video! Congrats
Hi thx for the tutorial can't wait for part two I am a beginner and I'm 12
Good luck Raef. Wish I'd learnt at 12.
great video .. thank you
Downloaded this video today.
Now, can you please sent the wind to Thailand. Thanks.
the best kite tutos @ YT for sure!
btw, where is this place? Somewhere in Florida?
Thankyou Renato. This one is filmed in Aruba.
Vielen Dank
Thank you very much
Very good explaination
Thanks for the video Kenya 2022 start jumping kitesurfing
Hey Guys! Really well teaching Video. But the second Part is still missing 🤔 Is it still in the Pipeline ?
Thanx a lot !! It will help me in a few hours ;)
I started to understand how to jump but I often loose my balance during the jump... what could it be?
Nice goal during the EURO CHAMPIONSHIP Final tonight!
LMAO ! I've done litterally each one of the mistakes presented here !! Specially the stall one !
+1 😀
where is the spot??
very nice video, thx !!!
Best video for jumping, great! Still no part 2?
Hello Leon, thanks for the feedback. Sorry, there's been a bunch of delays with filming Part 2 - my drone had to go in for repair, and now police have started banning kiting at my filming spot. I move to SA soon though, so then I can get it finished quickly.
I totally understand, enough reasons... looking forward to more tutorials!
Nice video, all i'd say isn't quite right is when you say "about to land redirect the kite" as I think it's better to redirect as you just pass the maximum height and start to drop. On a big foil (15-18m Chrono3) I redirect a second or 2 before I've even reached maximum height, or I'll pendulum.
In fact what you're saying doesn't match the video. You're saying you only move the kite from 12 just before you touch down, but reading this riders hand position, just before he touches down he's already steering the kite back up :)
What a great place to kite ;)
Очень полезное видео. Все по полочкам
Thanks !
Can you make a video explaining how to avoid accidental steering?
thanks for the video :) i just have a question, when i jump i often do these “accidental rotations” but i really dont know why, does anyone have an idea of why sth like that hapoens or like how to prevent it ?
Спасибо большое за русские субтитры
very helpful
Great video. Thanks. Shouldn't you be slightly go downwind just for a second before you edge hard, pop and jump? I can see this movement in the scene for higher jumps, but this movement is not explained in the video.
Or shouldn't it be done?
Hello gwwo. It depends on your level. If you're first trying jumps, there is an overload of things to do. So if you're just getting started with jumps, you will get best results by simply edging firmly upwind (as you normally do when riding upwind) then you are free to concentrate on the kite and less likely to make mistakes. As you gain experience, and the kite control becomes second nature, then I would advise to bring in your pop skills, which does include bearing off crosswind to pick up speed, and then craving harder and harder upwind until launch.
Thanks for Russian subtitles!=)
Yesterday I jumped off waves at Pelzerhaken and got huge air but my kite always kind of front stalled.. hard to hold a strong edge in waves I find. Should I try to steer the kite a bit in the direction I'm going a bit earlier or what?
I have successfully made medium jumps but i'm always scared to go too high and also concerned with the distance downwind that will be travaled ( horizontal speed in the air is scary ) any tips to overcome this?
Very interesting! I was waiting this video! but a doubt remain, what about the role of the Pop? after edging I need to Pop or only edging is enough? Is Pop a monoeuvre only for freestyle jumps with kite fixed at 45° or it's necessary also for high jumps taking the kite at zenith like in this video?
Thank you for all your video again!
Good question.
Edging alone is enough for an okay jump. If you're new to jumping then concentrate mainly on the kite, and just keep your normal edge. That's usually enough to think about at first ... and thinking about the pop will just distract you.
Once you are finding jumps easy, then try to do a strong pop at the same moment you pull in the bar. Popping as you pull in the bar will increase the height of your jump. Because popping makes a big difference, I will talk about it in detail in Part 2 of the jumping tutorial, and I'm making a separate video on popping alonge (with the kite in fixed position).
Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks GREAT! thank you
Where are you guys filming the video? :)
"Let's review that with a jump to the left" and then the chemical plant in the background and the Ocean suddenly switch places 😂
Do you keep the kite sheeted in all the way until landing? I’ve heard some say you sheet out a bit a the peak of the jump?
This video is awesome! Thanks for much for making it. Where is part 2? I can't find it on your channel
Hello Andrew, it's not out yet, but definitely out this year. It's hard to get the footage for really big jumps and stronger conditions, so it's taking a while. It will be worth the wait. Part II will be a 10 minute, comprehensive guide to squeezing out those extra meters, and how to land cleanly when you do jump higher - which can be a challenge.
Great tutorial! Quick question- why is the yellow on the right side in some of the clips?
Hello Ryan. That bar's convention is yellow on the left, correct. Where you see yellow on the right, we've probably flipped the footage to show a different stance/tack.
When is part 2?
Where are these videos filmed? Is this Spain? This lagoon looks perfect for practicing.
Awesome video and good explaination as always! Do you think when jumping higher a heli loop would be better then redirecting the kite? I crash quite allot(mostly when riding goofy since im regulair) and I actually landed some nice high jumps when doing an heli loop instead of redirecting the kite which felt quite good.
You're exactly right. This is one of the main topics covered in the second part, Jumping Higher.
Since when you jump higher, the kite has much longer to fly upwind of you, and ends up further from the power zone, so when you land your normal re-direct doesn't do much.
With a large jump, you need to be much firmer with the re-direct to bring the kite in front of you. So much firmer that the kite almost loops anyway. In fact doing a fast late loop works well to give you a soft landing. Just make sure to not be too high when you start the loop, and commit to it, and try to make the loop fast.
Again thanks for the reply. I was so surprised when doing a heliloop when landing that the power was really low since you already ride downwind. I did some downloop transistion before and felt the power of loops so was thinking the kite might pull me off my board or worse....! Can't wait for part 2 to get some more insight on higher jump/heli loops!
Do you guys look to the kite while steering the kite to 12' when you jump, and pop up? Or do you look at the lines while you steer, or just to the front whithout look to the kite?
Hello Leonardo. For you first, very small jumps, you want to watch the kite quite closely, since mistakes with the kite are the most likely to cause problems or injuries. It won't be long until you can feel what the kite is doing and hardly need to watch the kite. Then you will be able to watch the water more and improve your landings.
Thanks
Please do a video comparing the differences between Shinn Ronson Player with the Shinn Monk!
I want to get info about monk and ronson too
Great Tutorials, i watch them all! also such a beautiful spot, where is it?
Thanks Leon. The newer tutorials are filmed in Aruba.
So amazing!! do you live there?
We're there quite a lot, as it has very reliable wind, about 300 days a year. Soon we'll be off to South Africa though.
living the good life, enjoy!
Is this Aruba in the beach where kiting is not allowed anymore?
Great video!!. which is the size of the kite in the video?, knots? tnks!
Thankyou. We filmed this mostly on an XR4 15m2 kite in about 16knots.
Great video - BUT, can you give me the link to higher jumps (Part 2)? Thanks
Hello Mark. I haven't finished that video yet. I should post it on the Kitesurf College youtube channel within 2 months. Waiting for some good filming conditions here in South Africa.
there's a small piece of information that I could note after watching your video (again....) carefully. Right before you raise the kite to twelve, you sheet out the bar (1:27 or 2:45)... I suppose you do this to allow for the kite raise faster and vertically while gaining more room for the sheet in movement to take-off, right?! Another question is regarding the power adjust in the bar. On my first attempts, it seems the kite didn't had enough power to make me take-off the water...
Hello Renato. Good analysis. Sheeting out as the kite climbs towards 12 helps the kite climb faster, it also means you can keep your edge as the kite heads deeper in the window - in fact, you can even turn further upwind and create a greater apparent wind with the bar out. It's unlikely that the trim (power adjustment) would affect your jump that much - unless there's something very wrong with your line lengths.

Just before he jumps he pushes the bar all the way out then immediately pulls it in. Does pushing the bar out stop the kite at 12 o'clock?
Hello David. As you steer the kite up to 12 to jump, this generate power. If the bar is in as the kite climbs towards 12, then you can easily get dragged from your edge before takeoff. So if you feel the power kicking in early (before the kite hits 12), then pushing the bar out will help keep your edge - then when you pull in the bar, you should be a clean takeoff.
where is it, it looks like a very good place for kitesurf
Hello Ediz, this one was filmed in Aruba. Aruba has great wind, about 300 days per year.
is it very hard for a beginner?
when I try to jump, my body starts rolling backward or forward... how can I fix it? it's not easy to coordinate both movements (popping and moving the kite at the same time). Any tips? Tanks!!!
Hello Carlos.
It could be that you're not edging upwind enough as you take off. If you edge upwind, then the downwind pull of the kite will naturally keep you facing forward.
Another possible cause, is that many people tuck up their bodies in the air - like they're doing a sit up or crunch. If you tuck in, any rotation will speed up. Better to let your legs relax and hang behind you as you take off - this should stop most rotations.
Finally, I would say practice lots of small jumps until you are not having this problem.
i still cannot find the reason why wouldnt you jump while your kite is in mid or even high power zones? wouldnt it result in much higher or atleast longer jumps?
Hello Marko. You will find your answer between 1:49 and 2:38. When the kiter goes for the bigger jump at the end, the kite is steered up more firmly, and the kite naturally turns a bit deeper into the power. You can start by steering up slowly when learning, and then as you build experience, steer up more quickly and your kite will pull much harder. However, edging is more important to master before you start steering the kite up rapidly. This is because, if you ride downwind as the kite climbs, your kite's apparent wind is reduced and you won't make use of the power anyway.
@@kitesurfcollege thanks for the response! I guess I will just have to try kitesurfing to get the feel of it because as of right now I'd just steer it into high power zone and jump to the moon :D
HAAAAA HAAAAAAAA! It VOOORKS!!!! (in crazy german accent, even though im not german :) :) )
Haha, you're velcome.
nice
Where is this spot?
Hi, did you make the announced part 2? Can't find it..
Hello Lars, it's not out yet. I'll announce it on the channel when it's ready. Hopefully soon.
@@kitesurfcollege Great, love your vids!
Kapai. Thankyou
took me a sec but isnt that baby beach Aruba?
Liked, commenting (u-toob algorithm).
Next week, big air 🕺
s'il vous plait, ou sont enregistrés les vidéos ?
hello, please, where the videos are recorded ??
This one is in Aruba
Genial
Did you make a part 2 ? Can’t find it
Hello. It's almost finished. Just waiting for a few more clips. However, we don't have very reliable kiting conditions where I live so it might take a while.
Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks ok looking forward to it, hopefully you will get wind, I just come back from the lagoon in Sicily, wind was terrible 😢
Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks I bought your old school 101, great video, well forth the £
I am about 85kg, wind mostly 25kmph -30kmph
What size of kite should i look for
I only like to jump high
I had flexifoil blade 4 and 5 , size 6m 6.5m and 8.5m. And use it for jump on land only , what brand is good as flexifoil but for kitesurf
Blades were my first kites. If you can fly a blade, you're in for a pleasant surprise when you get a modern LEI/depower kite. If you want a kite just for jumping/gliding then a rebel type kite is great, or for an easier to use & relaunch version there's the evo shape tailored for your average user. If you want to unhook a lot, then there's the dice, or if you mainly want to surf then the Neo. I would recommend Duotone strongly, or one of the 3/4 most established brands. Be wary of the new or smaller brands at the moment. Most people who choose them are happy at first but eventually disappointed - the kite's let them down (failing earlier than expected), and then when you need spare parts to get back on the water they are hard (or impossible) to come by.
This will give you a bit more info on the shapes of kite available:

Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks you made me very excited thank you
Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks my problem in my country , the wind is not much, as i said 25-35 kmph , so i must choose big size i think which will be less response , so i am very worry to buy a kite smallsize so it will need higher wind
@@purplefurture6960 25 to 35 kmh is pretty much perfect. Modern kites are very responsive in those wind speeds. At 85kg you'd probably want a 10 and 15m2 quiver for light to medium winds, or if you get a 3 kite quiver maybe a 9, 12 and 15m2
You missed a huge step that you do in every jump, you sheet out fully before you pull it in. You don't say thag anywhere but you do it in every clip
Where do you kitesurf?
This is all filmed in Aruba.
The subtitles position is on bad position, it doesn't help to see where's the rider. To see the kiter is crucial to understand the trick 🙄
tu peux mettre les sous titres en francais stp dans tes videos. on n'est pas tous bilingues! ;)
