So I found this landboarding video . . . would it be worth it? http://www.fatsand.com/watchingit/Progression-Kite-Landboard...

I wouldn't buy it. I hadn't been on a skateboard in over 20yrs..........figure out the kite first. if you got that figured out then get yo a$$ on a board you'll be fine. start off slow, rock that sucker slowly into the edge of the window and work your way from there. no rush to figure everything out in one day. I learned all on my own, no other power kiters to even watch. Watch a ton of YouTube videos and practice practice practice. That video ain't gonna tell you anything you already don't know. (If you have power kite experience) it's mostly gonna talk about safety and such and the Power zone. Save your bucks. AND WEAR AT LEAST A HELMET!!!!!

Have you seen the video? How do you know that it isn't going to teach him anything and is only going to talk about safety and the power zone? The progression series is pretty highly regarded and from what I've read this video is something like two and a half hours long and very comprehensive.

I can't tell you if its worth its price or not. I think that the only other option would be Drill 1 and I haven't read good things about that one.

I got that video. thats why i responded :tumble: ya it talks about how to do this and that. but I personally learned more from watching YouTube videos

EDIT: I am only saying this cause it's a beginner video. You can learn all that beginner stuff on your own if you have power kite expericence. I am not saying that the Progression videos are bad. Spend your money on a intermediate video after you learn the basics.

I gotta disagree. This DVD is well thought out and presented. I recommend it. Even if you only learn one thing, its worth it. More than likely, you'll glean a couple of bits to help you in your progression. I followed up with some questions to Lewis Wilby via email and he answered which was a real bonus. Evidently, they are considering an advanced kite landboarding video next.
