I finally got an hour of video down to 7 min & up on youtube. Its a good video for the new guys, the more experienced will get bored quickly though the fall at 3:50 is at least somewhat entertaining; I got overpowered on a transition...I later found out if you carve into the wind just as you're initiating the transition it kills the power a little and points the board downwind...that way you ride out instead of getting pulled on your face.
This is the day it all came together. There's of course been some rough points (ok alot of rough points) in between but its been a blast ever since! I think I wasted a lot of time in small places...specially to learn, the more room you have the better. Its hard to learn much when you ride for 5 seconds & have to turn around (or rather walk back upwind). On that note I should really should not have launched the kite that close to the one sitting on the ground.
I figured out how to fast forward with windows movie maker so I'll put the self rescue (rough point) from the day the wind died up next time I get a chance.
