KiteWorld Magazine
"Most useful bit: All of it! The ‘Common Problems’ section is especially helpful with its simultaneous windows showing the wrong and right positions. … This is the Collins English Dictionary of instructional DVDs and another top-drawer production from the Fatsand Studios"

"PB shows from different angles how you have to steer the kite and how you have to ride. Nice picture in picture scenes show you about the right and wrong handling or body and kite movements. Simple symbols explain wind directions, right or wrong etc to get a better understanding of what is going on."
"In my opinion a very good guide to start kiteboarding and I definately will tell everyone, who wants to learn kiteboarding, to get this DVD before and then do a course. This way you will understand the sport faster and your learning curve will increase."
