5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Kitecoarding Book, March 4, 2009

By Juan G. Aluma (Kite Beach, Dominican Republic)

I guess I'm luckier than most as John is giving me 1on1 kitebourding lessons in his Method Lodge School in Kite Beach, Cabarete , in the Province of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, where he currently resides and teaches. He gave me one of his books on kitesurfing to read and follow, and I see why he has the most successful Kite school in the Country. I see the difference between his method and those of the other schools and this is reflected in his book. Thanks John for introducing me to this great sport. His book is the next best thing to having him as your personal instructor but his method is clearly the best out there. Trust me, I see the difference every day.

This is the bible of Kiteboarding! This book along with the DVD will give any level rider the confidence and more importantly, the common sense to enjoy this sport safely. Great job, John!

PS While reading your Books on Kiteboarding, I loved the parts on Snow Kiting, Kite boating and Kite surfing.
