Wow, this was quite the find, thanks for sharing!
I'm an older kiter who deals more with chronic pains from age and a desk job, but many of these are certainly inspiring to try. When I started suffering from lower back pain a few years ago I turned to foam rollers and myofascial release, which had worked wonders for me in younger years as a competitive cyclist.
Also I bolted into my garage some padded dip-chair/pull-up bars I got from Amazon for $36 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BXXTWOC). I use a step stool to hang from these to do leg lifts, L-hangs, and knee-to-chest twists. It's not quite the core-builder as the workouts outlined in this guide, but my back pains disappeared, belly trimmed a little, and having a regularly-scheduled routine break while working from home was well worth it.

With the longer days and warm weather (well not here yet. . . ) I've been doing more 12oz curls. Usually Heinekens work best for me, but I sometimes venture out to break the routine and cross-train with the 16oz Grolsch. A 16oz Grolsch that is truck driver frosty cold is living!

The type of kiting you do should determine the level of fitness you should be in… this visual is a good guide…

@shred Glad you find some of these exercises inspiring! I was definitely stoked to find some new movements to add to my routine.
Good idea on the L-sits, etc. It always seems like no amount of core strengthening prepares me for the first few sessions on the water, but those will certainly help!
@sasquatch 12 oz crunches are a must! Try to fit those in a few times/week for good measure
