Do you want to learn how to kitesurf? This is the place to start. Before flying a large, powerful kite you can learn a lot from a 1m2 trainer kite. You can learn the trainer kite in a lesson, or this video teaches you everything you need to get started.

This tutroial covers set-up, launching, flying drills, safety systems and the concept of the wind window.

The video is primarily designed to help people taking lessons. Teaching yourself from scratch can be dangerous. But if you are teaching yourself, start with small kites (1m2 or 2m2) and first use them in light winds (less than 20mph).

Make sure your area is safe. Nothing hard or sharp to fall on (such as rocks, fences, posts etc). Nothing dangerous for your kite to fly into (other people, children, powerlines, cars, trains etc). Your typical options are wide beaches or very large fields. You also need your wind to have a flat path, so find a spot where there are no hills, cliffs or buildings blocking the wind.
