BIO

I'm David Ursell. I've been kiting since 1996 with my speciality being Landboarding. I also buggy and kitesurf.  I have over 8000 hours of teaching experience.

Since I flew my first power kite I've been hooked. The power, the kites produced was exhilarating and I wanted, straight away to have more power. As soon as I started jumping I needed to jump higher and start trying out tricks. Not a lot changed since those first experiences, I still want to go higher with every session, for many years my only kite was a 20m C-shape!

I started out flying Flexifoil 6ft stackers, moved to Blades, I then got a kite buggy which I used most evenings with my 3.3 MKI Blade, later I started Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing, learning both with my Blade 7.2m. I learnt to kitesurf with a 6ft surfboard and my Blade, I had neither a harness or wetsuit at the time, crashing wasn't an option so learning was quick!

Kiting is such a dynamic sport with so many possibilities and so much potential it can be enjoyed by everyone on some level.

I have been teaching friends and family since 1997, however when I left University I wanted more so I decided to get qualified and start a business - PUSH kiting.  Push Kiting has been fully established now since 2005, and since 2010 has become a BKSA School.  I am extremely proud of PUSH Kiting and I believe I can get anyone no matter what sporting ability, kiting, so come give it a go!
