Kites Discount

Reviews

This is a complete waste of time. I bought it thinking that from the title "boost" it may have something to do with jumping. I got helpful advice like "don't forget to keep your feet in the footstraps"! This really doesn't help at all unless you're a complete beginner, never seen a kite before, etc. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUMPING, BOOSTING, ETC!

DONT BUY THIS IS DVD..... THE WORST INSTRUCTIONAL KITTING DVD I'VE SEEN,,, JUST A COUPLE OF GUYS KITTING... VERY SHORT AND DIDNT LEARN NOTHING FROM IT.... ANY OTHER KITTING DVD IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE...

For anyone getting into the sport of kiteboarding, or if you want to push it to the next level then don't miss this DVD- well produced, lots of angles, good instruction, and action inbetween to keep it interesting.

DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS DVD.... JUST A COUPLE OF GUYS KITTING....ANY OTHER KITE DVD IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE...

After watching Boost 1&2, I definately felt I was ready for more, and this is it. Wouldn't recommend it for 1st timers(BOOST is better for beginners) but if you've got the basics down and you want to push your limits, BOOSTING will be the tool. Sure this would be an amazing DVD for anybody wantng to turn pro too as it has everything in one package.

I can see why this has been called the Kiteboarders bible and a multi award winning product, well produced, I didn't personally like all the music, but that's personal and the instruction is amazing.

The fit was great. Slightly snug in the back of my knees and in the neck but only bothersome if you are wearing the suit for several hours. Seams are constructed well. Very warm!

If I lived near the ocean and was primarily interested in kiteboarding on the ocean, this would be an OK book. However, since I live in MN and am primarily interested in snow-kiting, it is of limited relevance.

This book is a big disappointment. The editing, quality and overall layout reeks of a small batch printing (the type where anyone w/ $300 can print anything). The typos are to the point where they seem to give misleading information. At times the typo contradicts the author and says the opposite of what he said before. I think this book can hurt a beginner, it is negligent to be sold in this condition and the author should be scared he will be sued by some dead kiter's family What is funny is that he almost immediately opens the book telling the reader that "most readers only read the two pages of a book" and 1 page away is this typo: "...depending on com-" Now I'm not sure what the rest of that sentence is supposed to be and I wonder, as an inexperienced kiter that bought a how to guide, if I am going to need that information? The general writing is self important and much of it just feels like "fill". There are sections on where to go in Maui - which seems great if you actually live there, but for the other 99.9 % of kiters you are merely buying a local guidebook.

I guess I'm luckier than most as John is personally teaching me to kitesurf in his Method Lodge School in Kite Beach, Dominican Republic, where he currently resides and teaches. He gave me his book to read and follow and I see why he has the most successful school in the Country. I see the difference between his method and those of the other schools and this is reflected in his book. Thanks John for introducing me to this great sport. His book is the next best thing to having him as your personal instructor but his method is clearly the best out there. Trust me, I see the difference every day.

This book is by far the most helpful material I have ever been able to get my hands on. As a relativly new kiteboarder, I wish I had been able to find this book earlier. This method, briefly, has the beginner start 100% safe & confident and then gradually extend the lines out to where the power & potential danger & frustration is. This was beginners learn from their mistakes without danger, frustration & hazards for other kiters(crashing kites, crossing lines, & out of control riders) I can't believe that more kiteboarding schools don't do this already. Watching beginners crash their kite, cross their lines, and swallow water reminds me of my 1st steps. I believe they would have been eliminated had I read this book earlier. Now I'm reading the steps in how to jump, and do tricks so I'm glad I bought it. Great book, thank you for getting your ideas down on paper for the rest of us.

Great book, a new method is taught by the writer. With this method, learning kitesurfing and kiteboarding is much more safer. I highly recommend it.

As a lubricant for the Jeep soft top zippers, this product is superior to that offered by the OEM. It works better and holds up longer at a reasonable price. The solid state prevents leakage compared to the OEM product, so you actually have some when you need it. Highly recommended.
