On Tuesday we hit 200 posts on the Progression Blog. Now, two hundred may not seem like a massive number in these days of constant news feeds and unless streams of content but we have always tried to focus on unique and original content rather than just reposting every kiteboarding press release or the latest pro riders video from Brazil! To that end, we’re proud of the knowledge base we’ve amassed and whether you are looking to improve with some skills & tips, help understand your equipment or simply some travel advice, we think we have something for everyone.
Wondering where to start? Here’s my pick of five of our best:

Here we laid out some key areas to focus on, alongside excerpts from our premium Jumping video.
