Hi Christian,

I've read the "Secrets of Kiteboarding" book, and I think many parts of it
are very confusing. I still hang onto it and look at it occasionally,
though, since it has a lot of info. Lots of advanced stuff I still don't
need. Hopefully there's a better book out by now.

I got the Real DVD this year and I liked it. It goes through the early
basic stuff steps in a coherent and logical way. I think it's well worth
the $. It should make your lessons go faster, since you'll know some of the
basic concepts.

Have fun and be safe!
