You've seen it on TV, in the magazines, or one of your best friends just won't stop talking about this fantastic new sport he's found that enables him to launch off the water and fly 30 feet into the air, glide like a bird and touch down like a feather.

And now you've decided that anything that mixes up the best parts of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paragliding has to be worth a try, and you're right. Kitesurfing isn't just the hottest sport to hit the beach in decades ... it's also the fastest growing extreme sport full stop.

All it takes to start this master this sport is the ability to fly a kite, and we are here with the best trainer kite package in the industry to help you get the skills you need and take to the sky every time you take to the water. Flying the trainer kite will give you the wind awareness and kite handling skills that you need to get the best out of professional kitesurfing intsruction. It will increase your learning speed and it will make learning kiteboarding safer. Your first step in getting into kiteboarding is spending countless hours with a 3-meter trainer kite. With a trainer kite, you can learn nearly every concept of flying the kites used when kiteboarding. Here are a few key elements to practice:
1. Understand proper launching and landing zones at the edge of your wind window.
2. Fly a figure-eight pattern in both the left and right side of the wind window, which simulates your kite movement when going both directions while kiteboarding.
3. Simulate board starts — hold the kite in neutral while practicing putting your board on, and even practice the process of releasing the kite in an emergency. When you can fly the kite in every area of the wind window, one-handed and without looking at it, then consider yourself ready for your first lesson. With a great base for your instructor to work with, you will be a step ahead. Once you become a kiteboarder and your days of flying the trainer kite on the beach are over, you will find yourself pulling it out to introduce your friends to the sport
We have developed the 2010 XtremeBigAir Sensei RELAUNCHABLE trainer kite that will allow anyone to get their foot in the door. Unlike other trainer kites, our Relaunchable Trainer Kite has a little more size to it 3Meter!!!, giving a pull that is much more similar to the larger inflatable kites that you will be using once you are ready to go out on the water. Not only is this kite great for learning the basics for kite control and kiteboarding in the water, but it can also be used for land kiting or snow kiteboarding!The Sensei Relaunchable Trainer Kite comes complete with bar, lines, and leash.
