Intro:

My name is Bas Koole and I kite since the beginning of 2003. Before kiteboarding I did windsurfing, inline-skating and platform diving. Those sports helped me with practicing of kiteboarding. Because of windsurfing I learned how to handle with the wind and the waves, inline-skating helped me with keeping balance on kickers and sliders. Owing to platform diving I created more body controle and I learned how to handle a hard crash on the water.

Target:

My target for this season is to train as hard as possible and to put down good results. Of course I want to promote my sponsors and I want to make a lot of nice pictures and movies.

How to Learn Kiteboarding:

Before you are going to buy your equipment, take a kite lesson. A kite lesson is very important, during this class you will learn the basic steps. A kite has so much power, so take a lesson before you start practicing on your own. Take a look at the website from the kite school Sky High.
