Hey Adrian, It is coming I promise!! In fact I’m about to sit done and continue editing it now
And I wish it was delayed because it was windy, in fact we’ve had one of the worse 6 months of wind, in the UK, that I can remember. Our problem is just too much work on other projects – but a nice problem to have
Plan is for a release in July. Keep checking the blog and we’ll let you know when we have a firm date.

Thank you for the improved beginner video. I am looking forward to the intermediate. Please let me know when it is available. I understand it is difficult to sit in front of a screen editing when the wind is blowing.
Cheers

@MarkBrown – we agree that there is a need for a video on riding surfboards and we have some great ideas on how to cover these topics but first we need to get the Intermediate Volume 1 completed and we have the international version of the Beginner 2nd Edition DVD. Unfortunately we are just a small team so each project takes sometime to complete to the standards we have set ourselves and level people now expect from a Progression DVD. These should be completed in the next 8 weeks and then we’ll look at future products but thanks for you feedback and it definitely helps us to set our priorities for future products (and a kite surfboard video is definitely high on the agenda!).

Love your DVD’s as I keep going back to them for reference for myself and helping others. I’ve transitioned a majority of my riding over to directional boards, and can get most of my jibes, and there seems be a lot of ideas from every rider as to the best way to perform it (and when to initiate) along with other riding techniques, e.g. toe side starts, upwind tacking, rail grabs, unstrapped, un-hooked, bottom turns etc. There does not seem to be any video out there that really addresses this other side of riding, which is a total blast, and was the way kiting was originally taught. Do you have any plans for a DVD addressing this.

Looking forward to a new DVD on this topic

That is the plan, but so much going on at the moment its hard to nail it down and not getting pulled off on to other projects unfortunately. Should have a better idea buy the end of April – we’ll keep you up to date. Thanks for your interest…

Hey Fredt, the new intermediate uses all styles of kites. For the riding technique side of things (jumping, toeside riding & carving turns), the concepts are generally universal but for things like self launch and tuning obviously are effected in different ways by the style of kite.
Regarding the existing Intermediate, Advanced and Professional DVD, the style of kite doesn’t really effect the overall technique. Certain kites might make certain tricks easier to learn but the technique is on the whole identical. So even when we do update these DVDs (which we have no firm plans to do as yet) I don’t forsee that the style of kites will change the instruction much at all.
Hope that clears things up…
Also, some more delays with the new Intermediate DVD, gonna be a couple of months until its ready unfortunately… Sorry, we are trying but its be a complex video to make and other company prioritise are slowing it down too. Be worth it when it does arrive
