You can also visit totalvid.com for a week free week trial and unlimited viewing of a number of instructional kiteboarding DVDs. The only drawback is that you will want to watch them over and over again as you head up the learning curve.

For beginners, watching a video before you take a kiteboarding lesson will give you some good theory to help you lesson progress more quickly. It definitely does not replace the practice you get with a good instructor as rigging your kite, launching and landing safely and gaining control of the kite will require explanation in person. This is extremely important as kiteboarding gear is changing so much. The kite set-up will likely be different than you learn on video.

- Autofocus
- Unhooked 2
- Sick Days
- Space Monkeys 2
