You need to make more tutorials - this is THE BEST waterstart video I’ve seen (by far) I’ve seen and changed my progress overnight! Keep it entertaining, makes the lesson very memorable!!
Not just the best waterstart video, but the best music/video/editing/attention-grabbing-video tutorial ever ... this should be a case study for other youtubers on how to grab your audience’s attention and turn on a fire in their hearts!
That is honestly the best waterstart tutorials ever!! Thank you so much. Pls more vids. Next step turn around. It is a big secret for beginners like me
Nice tutorial. I've been learning waterstart and the first time was a pain. The second time was much fine. One important hint that was passed to me was to start with medium/low power and keep an eye on the board just just when the kite passes at 01 : 00 or 11 : 00 to have the feeling of the board and get up on a controlled manner. I wish someone told me that sooner. Also, to keep some power when you put the board on , you could just pull the bar (but eventually it will stall) or just lock on the middle with you right hand it at 11:00 which I find much easier. Anyway, great video ;)
Helpful. I waterski and understand getting the board up out of the water. This tutorial made me more confident about doing g it under my own (wind) power with a kite. Thanks
Thanks! If you need furher guidance which i recommend, i give free lessons till the end of 2021 online! go join me! Details, and application on the link: bit.ly/freekitelesson See Syou there :)
I have had 4 lessons, and a little bit trouble to get out of the water. After watching this movie ... made all the difference. First attempt was on the board and surfing. Thnx!!!
Thank you for this video! I did a few of the overpowered, driving a Lamborghini without first learning to drive launches, but have since learned this much more gentle, controlled technique.
great tutorial Gust! it is a good thing to compare with car driving, as a fresh newbie in this sport (10h lessons so far and few waterstarts) I myself compared it with motorbike riding as I am a rider for over 20 years. Yes we all see them do wheelies and knee down... but it aint like that. you have to approach with finesse and learn how to achieve skills and mainly get used and familiar to your gear. Take the time and follow the right and good advice... As I have seen many hours of tutorials already this one was special and got me on a point none of the others did. seen it more than once now and will surely see it again before I get back in the water, being from belgium is to cold now to get out there... keep on the good (and funny) work and enjoy this great sport
Yes really good explanation, for beginners. I forwarded it to a good friend of mine. Because he is very close to have stand up the board. I hope it will support his next lesson.
Mate, you far.from be old. Keep rocking! Met a guy not so long ago. He was 75yrs old independent kiter, jumping and all... Told me he started it 20 years ago! Both knees replaced, he was limping and walking slow. But once he was on the water he got wings. 20years ago kites were well ... Different, least to say! So you have a great career in front. Enjoy!
Thanks for making waterstarts fun. It has always disappointed me that even though I spend 10 years windsurfing, I couldn’t get the hang of kiteboarding. After looking at my gear in the garage for a few years I’m going back out on the water. 🍻
This is a really helpful water-start edutainment with its necessary and vibrant explanations. Hope that I can reflect those into reality for myself. Really looking forward to:))
Best tutorial ever! waterstar is a pain but after your hints this became way easy to learn. Thank you very much bro for sharing this valuable info with all 🎉🙏
Don't use leg muscle to stand up... interesting. Usually I do submarine the board, like every time almost. Assumed it was just because I'm heavier than most, but your description makes sense. I will try this next time I try to ride and if I succeed I'll let you know. The physics seem really obvious now, warm, dry, and not being hurled through the air.
Ok Zolty here comes a great test... My wife has been trying to water start sporadically for 3 years now... obviously I am not as good a teacher as you! We are going to try later today using your method. Fingers crossed. If it doesn't work I'm sending her your way in Costa Rica! Saludos. I will post again later to advise.
Yoo I am excited! Just keep the pace slow. Try different strength power strokes first without the board then really follow those just stand up sit down steps for a good 10times before committing to a longer ride. She will be there! Let me know! Btw I am not yet in Costa Rica, first Brasil and now lake Como! Just before you get her on the post office 😅🤙🤙
Last lesson I made little overall progression and at the end of training my instructor let me try 2 waterstarts and i failed obviously. tomorrow iam going to make it, thanks in advance. :P
gr8!... i 'loose' 6h of my kite lession for waterstart and it is still not perfect... hard work ;-))))) but i'm so keen on kiting ;-))). Good tutorial. Tx. I like very much this comparison to clutch and moving sails - good hit!
I just love your tecnic, i uset but in spanish jeje, i like more the bar in 3/4 for dive, tks for your video i hope more techers see it. Good wind and waves
Agree mate! Once they stopped the ride, it is time to push the bar away, also once they gain speed. But something next step. I tried to focus on just waterstart. Oversheeting only possible if the lines are not in the right length or the wind is light.
This is the one and only Waterstart video any new kite surfer needs to see. I can say this from 1st hand experience having started in Egypt in Sept. Now, I have mastered the dark are of the waterstart. My problem however, being a long time windsurfer, is feeling the board. Getting the right amound of edge is something I am really struggling with. Either I edge so hard that I go nowhere fast or I am zooming of downwind at unbelivable speed. Trying to find the middle ground - well f*** me I am at a loss. Should I perhaps try a larger / different board? Any tips are welcome.
Thanks, Winkley! SHortly - despite what it looks like for you, your problem isn't the board. If you are able to create just enough power then with a bit of a balance, and body swing you up and riding. When you zoom downwind with the light of speed you used way too much power - obviously. i just run a free lesson section on my other video, go ahead apply, and I lead your through in detail!
Hey Santiago! MY best advice to you is not to overstress the leg position - if you talking about the position after standing up. THat stretched leg is a subtle change. it is way more important to get the power of the kite correctly 10 out of 10 times. Most of my studs tend to over do this leg thing and that is absolutely unnecessary (just like overdo the leaning back or other stuff) Get up 10 times in a row. And after that (all your muscle mem is built up well) in your mind focus on your leg to extend it like 10% more. That will do the job! Keep us updated!
Very good - and funny ! Can you please make a video on the next steps , like what is to be done (and when) in order to go at least a bit upwind! I always struggle w/ ... what's next when I am gliding and the beach is coming closer/ kite is loosing power ... so what do I need to do from planing downwind to turn to cross- or upwind? Thks so much!
Pitter Pit, thanks for all your comments it is really hearth warming! :)) I am on the upwind section so soon, i can promise some new stuff :) If you happen to be in italy once, dont forget to catch up with us!
absolutely love the car clutch analogy...makes so much sense to me now.
That's one of the best waterstart tutorials I've seen so far
Thanks mate appreciated!! :)
I love this so much! Can’t wait for my kite lesson tomorrow from this guy… 😘🧘♀️🪽🎶🐈⬛☀️💕💯🌊🌻🦄🏄🏼♀️
You need to make more tutorials - this is THE BEST waterstart video I’ve seen (by far) I’ve seen and changed my progress overnight! Keep it entertaining, makes the lesson very memorable!!
Thanks 🤩🥰
I am on it. Upwind tutorial is on the way!
Totally the best ❤

Best waterstart tutorial on UA-cam right now
whohwoohwo you too kind. but I can accept it! Thanks dude :)
@@EpicGust watched too many videos and by far yours is the best
Agree 1000%. Best water start explanation by far.
That is honestly the best waterstart tutorials ever!! Thank you so much. Pls more vids. Next step turn around. It is a big secret for beginners like me
@@EpicGust It’s by far and large, the best one still. Excellent work, really.

Finally a very very very good explanation!!!
Lots of thanks from Italy! 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video.
Waterstarting can be a challenging phase in the learning process.
Your insights are appreciated!
Thanks bud! Really looking forward to hear how it worked for you!
Best beginners tutorial I've seen. Do more! Don't worry about the long hair
Thank you so much!! I dont! (why would I? :D )
Helpful. I waterski and understand getting the board up out of the water. This tutorial made me more confident about doing g it under my own (wind) power with a kite. Thanks

BINGO! SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT :))
@@EpicGust can you maybe make a video about switching direction on the board?
I finally made it after watching your video! From now on, you’re my hero😊👍
No mate, You are my hero. Glad it worked 💪💪👌 keep it up!
Thank you for this video! I did a few of the overpowered, driving a Lamborghini without first learning to drive launches, but have since learned this much more gentle, controlled technique.
LAmbo is good. Once you know how to us it :D
Beautiful ❤
Very funny very instructive, from so far the best waterstart video I ve watch
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
It’s a great shame you aren’t shooting more of these mate. You really have a knack for this.
Thanks mate, working on it
Great Tutorial,
Funny and full of really useful tips,
Learning at 65 from Argentina 🇦🇷
Awesome! Thank you! keep on shredding, we all look up at you!
Super advice to practice small steps gradually and progress slow and steady.Going to practice now.Thanks for your video.
Great instructions. Thank you! Makes perfect sense to take it slow and steady to measure your power before you get up on the board.
Thanks Karen :)
Just started kite surfing and this is the best explanation of waterstart!
THnaky bud, keep it going :)
Honestly thanks for this clip. Best tutorial and it works directly after watching. Pls more of this. That would be great. Thx
That's makes me so happy , i can't even explain how glad I am 😁
Mahalo!!! I have my first lesson in a couple days and this is very helpful 🙏
Best of luck!
Yes this is great instruction, followed these tutorials...big help! Thanks Zoli!

Thank you so much

Ah man thanks for this, I am glad I was able to give that extra bit to your learning! Let me know how it goes once temperature let's you do it!!
Yes really good explanation, for beginners. I forwarded it to a good friend of mine. Because he is very close to have stand up the board. I hope it will support his next lesson.
Give us a real life feedback about that! :) I am curious how it works through the youtube. It does work in life :)
Great water start tutorial! I'm a new, old kiter (56 yrs old). Working on getting upwind now!

Best tutorial ever! waterstar is a pain but after your hints this became way easy to learn. Thank you very much bro for sharing this valuable info with all 🎉🙏
Great advice, the biggest tip I had today on the water was push that front foot away downwind, I was up even on my small board 🤙
Glad it helped you!
best tutorial ever!
Love the car analogy, thankyou
Good video bro best one to help really understanding how to control it and kinda what really to expecte

Gracias a tus consejos pude hacer el waterstart!
exzellent description!
Thank you! that was helpful. Especially the tip about keeping the bar pulled. I am from Sicily, just starting and I loved the video in Stagnone
Nice! We going to Sicily too end of September! Are you going to be there?
Epic Gust Why not! It would be nice to spend a couple of days at Stagnone!
Thanks for a funny but useful lesson.. 👏👏
Funny - it will stick. Useful - goes a long way. What else should I add?
Can’t wait to give it a try
Let me know how it goes!
Last lesson I made little overall progression and at the end of training my instructor let me try 2 waterstarts and i failed obviously. tomorrow iam going to make it, thanks in advance. :P
So? Did it work?
Excellent tutorial. I will share this with my students. Well done!
Awesome, thank you!
Havent seen sth better ! Nice Video ! Thx !

Best waterstart tutorial I've watched! Thanks
Thanks Nathalie 🥰
Dude. FANTASTIC video
Thanks a ton!
Kudos:-) Thank you for this lesson Buddy
great video, probably good to explain also not to oversheet kite after start so it can breath
Agree mate! Once they stopped the ride, it is time to push the bar away, also once they gain speed. But something next step. I tried to focus on just waterstart. Oversheeting only possible if the lines are not in the right length or the wind is light.
Great video, you explain it very clear. Love your Lieuwe Board. Best looking boards on the market!🤙🏻
Haha thanks , I love it too 😍
Thank you man, this really helped me to make it!
Very nice tutorial. The music is a bit.loud and distracting but the explanation is top.
Appreciate it! I will talk to the god damn DJ. He always want to steal the show! 😅
Nice to see new tutorial!
More to come!
super thanks the best of the best !! Im starting great tutorial

Vietnames, hi, your video is very realistic

Great explanation
Thank you!
