I think this tool is fantastic. :thumb:

Recently had a chat with a guy long time in the sport...and he had an similar idea, and believes it will progress people even faster.

Would be good to see this in action and then hear feedback from newbees and instructors.

Really? I do not get this at all. Seems like a total waste of time to me, unless there is some kind of handicap with the rider. You learn to fly the kite, then bodydrag, then jump on the board. What is the point?

Tanks toby


tandemkitesurf for our opinión Is the future of kitesurfing...

arround 1998 the kitesurfing start to work ....first revolution

In the 2005 -6. Big revolution with safety And depower And extend ranges of kitesurfing
This make popular And safe the kitesurfing


And Now the latest revolution tandem kitesurf. For the lást 2 years diferent people and branda aré working in tandem

Tandem means share feelings but really means the posibilita to arrive a biguer range of people ....

Less than 1% of normal people do kitesurflessons becouse dont know if really likes or not.....

With tandem the people that want try the kitesurf experience aré moré than 10 times that do Now. And Is really good for know the feelings And know the real sport that aré kitesurfing.

The future of kitesurfing......??? I very much doubt it. Kitesurfing is not a hard sport to learn, all I see the tandem setup allowing instructors to make lessons last longer and charge more money. In some cases with students who really have problems it may be of benefit but for 95% of learners it is not needed. The other disadvantage is that is it not a standard setup so once they learn in the tandem they then have to go back to a different system and relearn using that.
Less than 1% of normal people do kitesurflessons becouse dont know if really likes or not.....
Really? Where did you get this figure from??? I can see this maybe encouraging more people to experience kitesurfing that wouldn't do it on their own but as for actually speeding up learning I really can't see it to be of much benefit.....to learn to kitesurf you have to do it on your own, like riding a bike, tandem kiting will only make it take longer.

Also strapping 2 people together....looks a bit dangerous :o

JGTR. I understand You ......but is diferent .....

If You ask any school about whats hapen with coustoumers

For 100 people that ask about what is kitesurf .....90 % ask just for try for know what is the feeling....
And if he likes. Do a complete lessons....

In this point the teachers say yes You start with trainer .....,,,,,,

Imagine now You can say ok ! Go and try 20 Min with .....

You remember the first time that You planing and ride?
Unforgueteble .....this experience make new kiters for sure....

How You understand the first half an hour in the tradicional schools is trainer.....now with tandem can share the feeling

Our. Experiences are fantastic a lot of people that just looking on the beach see the tandem and ask to ride it .....and this people are the first time that see the kitesurfing and get hooked in 20 min

Check out Tamatoa Gillot. He's an Ozone rider who lives in Moorea, Tahiti. He has also developed a tandem harness and board (that new Axis board has his design input I believe as he now reps for them out there), not as bulky as the life jacket thing you got going on but he nainly does tandem kitesurf for travelers to let them know how kitesurfing feels. Much like tandem skydiving. He even took a quadriplegic women out kiting. It made pretty big news. I think tandem kitesurfing will really serve it's purpose to make a little extra cash on the beach or take your girlfriend out for a ride if she's not a kiter.

I agree with westozzy, it's pretty much a guy-girl setup. Try teaching a big hairy quarterback that will stick up like a mount, and if you fell under him you are fish food! It'd be great if all the students are victoria's secret models but for some reason I don't see that happening! Good try though!
