Very in-depth information well done.

### 5/5 — Fabulous kite foil training video

*2019-08-02, version 2.8*

Fabulous training video....I’ve gone from complete beginner to basic intermediate, from the info in this video. So clear and so precise. Well worth the money!

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2019-07-05*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Progression Series

*2019-06-14*

I just started kiteboarding, taking classes from professional instructors and stumbled upon the initial video on YouTube. After seeing how superior the videos were I had to have the whole collection for myself. Best purchase that I’ve made in a long time.

### 5/5 — Best Kiteboard Videos!!!

*2019-03-25*

These are the very best videos available for kitesurfing, kiteboarding and new even for foiling. They even have couple of sample videos on YouTube. Money well spent!

### 5/5 — Great app! Ideal for kitesurfers at all levels

*2019-01-18*

This app is great to learn and also evolve in your kite surfing techniques. I learn several tricks with this app

### 5/5 — Fantastic Series of Instructional Videos

*2018-08-11, version 2.8*

The Progression series of instructional videos has, for me, proved to be a fantastic learning tool. I’ve been a fan since day one, owning one of the first DVD discs from the early days. But now with this App I have access to all of my videos at my fingertips where and whenever I want. The App is easy to use and the creator Rob is an excellent instructor and narrator whose passion for the sport is clear to see. I’m now embarking along the road to learn how to hydrofoil and I know that with the help of the new set of foiling videos now released together with the help and encouragement of both Rob and his sidekick Danny who, incidentally have been so quick to respond to any questions asked I’ve every confidence I’ll progress swiftly. Don’t hesitate to download, you won’t regret it!

### 5/5 — PerFect for all levels of

*2018-06-21*

I found the Progression video series to be perfect for all levels of hiding. I’ve used them with students starting out with their first lesson and found things move much faster through the learning process. As students learned more intricate maneuvers the intermediate videos were an excellent way for them to augment their time and practice on the water. I use the advanced videos and the specific wave and foil videos to help me continue to advance my writing and as I add new tricks to the bag. They are done well and in a way that promotes knowing the essential ingredients to learning in a maneuver.

### 5/5 — Vinicius1975

*2018-06-08*

It’s a good app.

### 5/5 — Must have to improve

*2018-03-15*

The series are very helpful to improve. There is a lot of good information that helps you on each step of the learning curve.

### 5/5 — My Kitesurfing bible!

*2017-11-16, version 2.8*

This is a fantastic product, with professionally made videos, and has been very helpful to improve my kitesurfing skills and ability on each trip I have been on, since I was a beginner.

The demos of each skill is exhaustive, with multiple camera angles, and clear instructions.  I also like the “common mistakes”, which also show how not to do things.

The app does have a number of in-app purchases, as you move through the courses and increase your level.  However the prices are exceptional value for money, when I think how many hundreds of dollars I have saved in one-to-one personal lessons from a instructor.
Although, it is generally better value if you buy the bundles, rather than each one individually.

The videos also work.  During my current 1 week trip in Brazil, I have gone from only being able to ride heel-side, to now riding toe-side (sometimes even upwind!).  Plus I have also managed to pull off a few clean carving tunes from toe-side back to heel-side.... Even in large waves and chop here, so well chuffed.

The progression customer support is also excellent.  They respond promptly (~24hrs), and recently resolved a download error in my devices expediently.

Lastly, the technology side is taken care of with seamless synching between phone, laptop,etc, which even remembers where you have watched until, for each video, across devices.

Worth every penny, I wouldn’t go on a kite trip now, without it.  Top job Progression!

### 5/5 — Intermediate/advance

*2017-11-14*

Amazing, I being kiting for little over a year and by learning and following progression videos I have shocked everybody on how soon a have become a good Kiter , thank you guys from progression videos.

The same happened to me, follow progression video and you’ll be looking like a pro and dropping some jaws around.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry if you are unhappy with the app, could you let me know more about what issues you have had and maybe I can help to get things working better for you?

### 1/5 — Far too expensive

*2017-03-05, version 2.7*

Too much money for something you can get for free on u tube.

### 1/5 — Painful to use

*2014-12-15, version 2.5*

Can't stream videos. Can't download all at once. Painful.

### 1/5 — progression player for kitesurfing.

*2013-09-07, version 2.2*

DON'T buy in the in app video's ,when you download them they make the app crash and you can't restart it even when you reinstall it ! buyer BEWARE!!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

*2013-08-21*

It would be a great app if it didn't crash on startup. Please fix it

### 1/5 — David

*2013-01-18*

DON'T BUT THIS I still can't get all the videos to download after purchase. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF by an otherwise great learning tool

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2012-09-23*

It would be cool if it worked. Even just once.

### 1/5 — Constantly freezes with apple tv

*2012-09-09*

Love the videos, hate the player.  Constant freezes when streaming to my up to date apple tv, playback controls disappear when streaming.  DO NOT GET THIS IF YOU WANT TO STREAM ON APPLE TV.  I always expect an update this app due to the stability issues but in the months I have had it there has never been one.

### 1/5 — ££££££

*2012-05-21, version 1.0.3*

### 5/5 — Sehr hochwertige Videos, schnelle Lernerfolge

*2026-05-15*

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von der Qualität der Videos des Progression Teams! Ich wäre mit Sicherheit schon einiges weiter beim Foil-Kiten, wenn ich diese eher entdeckt hätte.
Auch fürs Wave-Kiten habe ich schon einige wertvolle Tipps mitgenommen!
Die App erlaubt, die Videos schnell wiederzufinden und ohne Internet abzuspielen - jederzeit.
Die Gegenüberstellung von typischen Fehlern und wie man es stattdessen richtig macht, ist Gold wert! Auch die üblicherweise 3 Knackpunkt lassen sich gut merken!
Die Videos sind auf gut verständlichem UK Englisch und sind ihr Geld auf jeden Fall wert!

### 5/5 — Essential viewing

*2024-04-08, version 2.8*

A timeless product which has allowed me to increase my own skills with confidence and re-evaluate my mistakes and adjust my riding. 

This set of videos have also assured me with my own instruction and coaching, the method, style and detail is well thought out and spot on. 

Looking forward to a wing foiling series……..

### 5/5 — Kitesurfing

*2021-10-15, version 2.8*

Excellent tuition videos, very detailed would recommend !!!

### 5/5 — Little confused

*2021-09-14, version 2.8*

Little confused about the fourth line on the fifth line Kate can’t understand the functionality of the fifth line and where it’s located.
Thanks

### 5/5 — excelent kiteboard lessons 🤙

*2021-06-04*

excelent kiteboard lessons 🤙

### 5/5 — Smart. Sensible. Safe.

*2020-12-19, version 2.8*

This is one of the best learning  resources I’ve found apart from being guided personally by a teacher on the beach.

### 5/5 — Best of the bunch

*2020-05-25*

Started foiling last year, and these tutorial videos have helped greatly! By focusing on key elements in each step of learning to foil, it has helped me progress much faster than I would have just trying to figure it out on my own. Yes, there are plenty of free videos out there, but none are as clear or comprehensive. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Foot change

### 5/5 — Best supplement to lessons EVER!!!

*2020-04-27*

I have friends who just seem to “learn by doing” and figure things out.  Not me...  I have to be taught step by step - and the Progression approach has helped me every step of the way - from Beginner to jumping to Surf to Foiling!  I cannot thank them enough!  If it wasn’t for Covid, I would be going to a camp this year.

**Developer response:** Thanks and glad the videos have helped. We are still hopefully our camps will happen later this year, Portugal, Morocco and Mexico. Drop us an email if you'd like to chat through any options.

### 5/5 — Great value for the money money

*2019-11-18, version 2.8*

Whatever level you are at, or which style you want to learn next, there is a collection for you, great videos which I knew about these when I first started out kitesurfing
