Hey guys,
I'm on the way to trying to become a pro kitesurfer (whether competing or not) and am starting a thread with all my videos, blog posts and anything else. I'll just post everything I do here. I'm recovering from an injury right now so I'm making a lot of videos. First I'll leave you with my favourite video
Hope you like

Good luck charlie.
Don't forget that most of the pro kiteboarders (kiteboard professional = you're earning your money with kiteboarding) are
- teaching noobs when everybody is having fun kiting
- selling gear when everybody is having fun kiting
- repairing kites when everybody is having fun kiting.
Look at some of the kite vids of your competitors and try to figure where you're standing in comparison.

Best way to become a pro kiter:
1. Get your CPA.
2. Bust ass doing taxes January - April.
3. Travel and compete April - November.
4. Profit.
