Hi, the guide is online again. The website was hacked, but it will be online in a short version again…

Hi Rachael,

Sorry, it looks like it’s been taken down. Hopefully this is just temporary.

So, I’ve looked on kiteboarding exercises before and all I saw was isolations. Kiteboarding is built up of dynamic movements, don’t you think more dynamic exercises might make a little more sense? I’m not sure what the new guide has in store, but i’m looking forward to it

Hey Zback, I just wanted to let you know that Lars has updated his training guide. The latest version now includes an Outdoor Training Program and he has revised the nutrition section…
We’ve updated the download links in article, so you should be able to get the latest version if you are interested.
Thanks.

I probably haven’t been clear enough in my statement, but this guide is not about health. It’s only about the fastest way to recover for the next session. And it should not be interpreted as a healthy way of living. Like i state in the beginning of the article: “This is not an article about healthy food”… This is probably the only thing I’ve been asked regarding nutrition; “How do it keep energy level up during a full day of kiteboarding and how do I recover the fastest?”. So the article came out… And yeah, it broke my heart a little bit too, by leaving out the health part. And maybe it was a mistake, but this was what people wanted to know more about. But I could (and maybe should have) put in a section on health and rehydration to get more focus on that. Because I agree that it is important. But the kiteboarders who really care about nutrition, have a pretty good idea on how to do it. So this is for those who just want to recover fastest.

But since very few kiteboarders (that I know and that I have talked to on the web) don’t really care about nutrition, I haven’t really looked at this article since then.

So, I totally get where you are coming from from a health point of view. I will rewrite it with a section about health. And where it clearly show the difference between healthy diet and fast recovery. Or both, because you can have that too…

And yeah, fruits are a great natural source of energy, but the kiteboarders I know doesn’t carry a basket of fruit with them to the beach. They drive past the nearest gass tank and buys a chocolatemilk on the way to the beach. But maybe I should set a goal for my self to change that :o)

So, to sum it up. This article was written from a realistic point of view and not an idealistic point of view. And it probably should contain both. So I will do that for you :o)

So… I like the guide, but your nutrition section is just messed up. You recommended soda and energy drinks as a good source of fuel and healthy nutrition. You might wanna do some research before publishing this kinda article. It might be better to suggest a more organic and natural option like fruit and tons of water instead of carbonated, processed, acidic crap that can decompose a nail in a matter of weeks. There are several other things in the nutrition section that were poorly done. You said that you need carbs and some protein so eat some bread or a sandwhich… failing to specify what kind of bread. Also inferring that a carb is a carb and nothing more or less when you wrote about carbohydrate intake and chocolate milk and soda. So besides the nutrition section I found the article very beneficial.
