    Watch the video 3 Kitesurfing Skills to Practice on the Beach, get out there and practice and let us know if you have any questions.
    These are 3 great drills to practice with your kite. If you are a beginner kitesurfer, or even intermediate, you may find some helpful tips. I spent a lot of time on the beach flying my kite and learning kite control and skills to ensure when I actually started trying to go on the water, I already had a great feel for flying the kite itself. 90% of kite surfing is flying the kite itself. Take the time to practice :)

    CZcams is a great resource. You can get top tips from great athletes right from your chair. Great way to get free lessons before you even go for your first real lesson.

    1. Walking the beach side to side along with the kite sitting on 45 degree (one hand)
    2. Back-stalling -> release the back lines (practice stalling and releasing)
    3. Water start on the sand (on nice clear sandy beach): sit down - get ready - dive the kite - get up

    Yes sir thank you i’ve been watching your videos ever since I found you on CZcams man and I’ve learned so so much you’re so informative. I’ve looked at probably hundreds of different videos on learning how to kite surfing and this and that and none of them are as thorough as yours so thank you very much.❤❤

    Thanks for the tips. I tried kitesurfing 5 years ago but got really frustrated at al those failed waterstarts and then quit. Might give that beachstart a try next summer, see if I can practice this a lot on land.

    • @trexinvert
      @trexinvert Před 5 lety +1

      You might consider "cross training" with waterskiiing. Assuming you develop competent kite mastery, the watersport that I think most similar to kites surfing is waterskiing, where you are towed by a power boat. When you water ski, that "initial" pull and stand-up to ski is a basic skill to master. Utilizing that pulling force with coordination to get on your feet quickly is the key.

    You do such a great job in your explanations. I am planning on taking lessons, but i do best if i could understand the concepts in my head 1st as much as possible. Could u do a video on just the details of how one would move the bar, what & how to move the bar with our hands in changing the kite in all the difference location or power zones( 12 oclock, 11, 1, 3, 9, ...etc). The speed, amt of tilting of the bar in all of these transitions...just how to control the kite in order to be able to fly the kite, keep it on the air, but in a manageable way. I hope i am making sense. It would be great for those who wants to start!!!

    Superb tuition. I especially love the advice to practise water-starts on dry land, judging exactly how much pull it's going to take to get you up - as you take a "bite" out of the wind window and then park it again - without having to cope initially with being tossed about in the ocean, swallowing mouthfuls of salt water. Thanks so much.

    LUKE !! I love your videos - THANK YOU !! They are so clear and informative I am learning so much (and am an intermediate 12 years in !!) Love the back stall explanation, i still struggle with adjusting the trim when i am on the water (I now have a North Click bar which i love and has helped me so much, and I imagine the Ocean Rodeo is the same, it looks nice!!) And practicing starts i agree with, i did the same in one of my first lessons with a French instructor in Taiba, Brazil, and he did the same with me, once i had 10 perfect stand ups he let me onto the water, and hey presto i was up straight away. Like you say make sure you choose your location well first, many places I have kited wouldn't be safe to that, but that what common sense is for!! Thanks for all this great content and allowing us some of our own common sense... PS Francis great camera work !!
