Trainer Kites

Before you ever touch a full-size kite, a trainer kite builds the muscle memory that makes everything else click faster. You'll learn to read the wind window, develop bar feel, and start thinking in terms of kite position — all on a forgiving, low-consequence setup. The hours you put in on a trainer kite show up immediately when you step into your first lesson. They're also just fun to fly on their own. If you're serious about learning kiteboarding, start here.
