"Killer video. I have been kiting for seven years and I even picked up a trick or two that I didn’t know." John Bryja : SBC Kiteboard Magazine Editor

Zero to Hero covers beginner through self-sufficient riding and is the first of 5 instructional DVDs that will follow our camp series through pro level riding. Other titles to be released by Spring '06 include Evolution, Joyride, Surf, and Triple-S.

Why is it so Good ?
Zero to Hero fills a vital niche in kiteboarding instruction DVDs for the rank beginner rider. This DVD specializes in taking riders with never-ever ability and bringing them up to the self-sufficient riding level. The focus of this DVD allows in depth discussion and coverage of vital information that will allow riders to be safe and improve their abilities at a more rapid rate throughout their entire learning curve.

Specific Focus
Previous Instructional DVDs targeted at this level of riding including Boost II, Kiteboarding 101, Complete Kiteboarding, etc have covered too much info, too broadly, not allowing them to go into detail at all on any one subject. This leaves viewers without any depth of knowledge or confidence on any one subject. The REAL Instructional Series follows our REAL Kite Camps which have been proven over that past 4 years to deliver focused information in “digestable” bites, allowing riders to get the most from their instructional experience.

“Zero to Hero is the perfect DVD for every beginner rider just getting into the sport of Kiteboarding. Zero to Hero makes kiteboarding easy to understand and accessible to anybody.” Trip Forman Co-Founder REAL Kiteboarding

Another highlight that sets this video apart from other instructionals are the graphic elements and high end editing put into place to make kiteboarding easier to understand. The use of graphic aids clearly explain the sport, the equipment and how to enjoy Kiteboarding for anyone who wants to. After watching this video, you simply understand how easy and accessible Kiteboarding can be !

Zero2Hero is the most comprehensive beginner instructional kiteboarding DVD that has been made to date. The techniques of coaching a beginner on camera makes you feel like you are in the DVD experiencing the learning curve yourself.Zero2Hero is a must buy for anyone that is a beginner to intermediate kiteboarder. Matt Nuzzo Co-Founder REAL Kiteboarding

Bonus Section
No DVD is complete without a seriously stacked bonus section ! We packed so much instruction and action into this DVD that we had to go double sided ! Just a few of the highlights of the Bonus Section include:

Life of a Kiter :Bladder repair, board repair, tuning a bar.
Shop Talk : Learn about all the latest gear and accessories and which can make learning easier and faster !

The REAL Instructional DVD series is going to raise the bar for instructional kiteboarding videos for the rest of time. Though no DVD can be a true substitute for lessons, the Zero to Hero DVD is going to make it a lot easier to keep all of the knowledge you gain from an actual REAL Camp right at your fingertips. For riders that have been waiting for an up to date instructional series that's actually fun to watch, this is it. The "coaches tips" is the most valuable bonus section for beginners ever. - Zack Young - REAL Kiteboarding Coach and Customer Service Manager

"Zero to Hero is an excellent training DVD. The gang at REAL Kiteboarding has managed to organize and capture the highlights of beginner kiteboard training in a logical and step-wise sequence. Every school teaching the sport should show Zero to Hero to clients before they actually put a kite in the students hands. This would allow the student to begin to visualize what is going to take place in the hands-on lessons.

Up to this point, we have been showing the training DVD, "The Complete Kiteboarding Guide", which Naish filmed on Maui using KSM instructors. The challenge with the one we currently show is that it isn't organized along the lines of our instruction. We have to advance to specific chapters to maintain continuity with our lessons. Zero to Hero is perfectly organized-great job! Like that you used a small board, no helmet and no leash. Liked how you explained the importance of what the student was practicing at the time, ie one hand kite flying or flying blind is important because.... " Martin Kirk - Founder KSM - Kite School Maui.
