Best youtube channel for learning?
Hello friends, I am buying my first kite very soon and going to the beach for a week with my family in a few weeks. I want to know the basics of
static flying in theory before I get out there and actually figure it out.
Who are the best guys on youtube to learn from? Any recommendations?

There is nothing that compares to being the star of the video... all of the above suggestions are great, but you gotta put in the time to "learn it
right".
And ensure that you are aware of potential safety issues when you're flying.
Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

/\ this! I used all but the middle video before I started kiting. Quedecree's stuff in particular is excellent. I believe he has a video about
side-launching, which is a really good technique to learn early! Could save your butt when the wind really starts blowing!
