It’s a ‘hair on fire” project that takes a ton of time, energy,coordination and fact checking but we think it’s a helpful and necessary resource that provides important information for kiteboarder’s of all levels. This guide is NOT meant to replace lessons but is an informational guide to help supplement your learning curve, increase your knowledge base and progress your riding level. ENJOY!
