How to Cross-Train at the Cable Park: Kiteboarding School - Ep1

Spring is here and we all know what that means. Warm weather, wind and good times with good friends. We’re officially kicking off our kiteboarding lesson season for 2017. This marks our 16th year teaching kiteboarding. In that time the gear, as well as the sport have changed drastically. With all that change there still remains one universal truth for new kiteboarders. That is the thirty hour rule. Ten hours on the kite, ten hours on the board and ten hours to put it all together.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. I don’t have any experience on a board. How do I get ten hours of board time? It is a bit of a catch 22. While kiteboarding is 90% kite skill you do need to learn how to control a board. For this we recommend checking out your local cable park. For us in west Michigan that is Action wake park. We’ve been taking our students to our local park since it’s inception to help progress skills on the board. The entire month of May we will be releasing training videos every Wednesday. These videos will cover all the skills you need to progress with your kiteboard at the cable park. Eventually getting into more advanced skills for those of you with high aspirations.
