"Hello, I’m Francisco Escudero with Sky Banditz Kiteboarding here in Miami, Florida, you want to learn more about kiteboarding go to www.skybanditz.com. Now we’re going to continue on the directions of travelers and experienced rider. Soon enough I’m going to want to ride to the right hand side, I’m going to go from 12 to 3. I’m going to blow my kite a couple of times, power stroke it down wind while riding, soon enough I’m going to cut the wind and I’m going to find a sweet spot while my kite is position in the perfect location, kind of like sailing. Right there, soon enough you are be able to sail consistently, you’re going to be able to ride this direction, ride up wind a little bit, new tip comes in, kite comes and then you’re going to ride this direction. Then this way is how a rider would be able to tack up wind, consistently doing this, flipping over, riding this direction, flipping over, riding this direction, that’s how I’m able to tack up wind consistently. Like a machine, obviously, down wind would be located right down here and then as you progress you could actually ride down wind like snowboarding too."
