Do you know the feeling of flying over the sea? Would you like to meet her? One of the water sports that can make you experience it is kitesurfing, why? For the simple reason that it is the wind that carries you and if you let yourself go... you can fly!
Let's assume that you have taken a kitesurfing course recently, last summer, perhaps? And this year you intend to practice it again and, why not? To improve it. Surely if you have already tried it, the temptation to get back on a kite board will be irresistible.
Learning kitesurfmay take some time. Not much, since the handling of the materials is quick but you have to take into account the conditions of the wind and the tide and be able to learn to know and interpret them. But what happens when you already "control" it? You have to start experimenting, don't you think? Let's experiment.
How to jump kitesurfing
There are a series of steps that you have to take into account (remember that the jump is not the most complicated, but the important thing is knowing how to land):
1. Take off
How? As "simple" as pulling the bar with the kite high and sticking the board into the water. If you do it with enough force the kite will end up giving way and lifting you, propelling you upwards. To complete it, you just have to push yourself with your legs.
2. Fly
Use your own body to balance your weight with that of the kite. The essential thing is to lift the board forward using your legs and maneuver the kite with the board. Just before descending, you have to bring the kite forward to be able to pull.
3. Land
The most important thing is that you don't dig yourself into the water, but you have to let yourself fall, how? Always with the help of the kite. If you handle it well, you can land with your stern raised and the result will be unbeatable.
Don't forget to follow the usual advice, among which we highlight not losing sight of the kite (if you follow it at all times you will understand how it works much better), try to jump when you feel ready >, do not sail in shallow water to avoid possible injuries And, in case you feel more secure, you can start by fixing your feet to the board.
Once you have worked on the jumps, all you have to do is start with the turns and other maneuvers. Don't waste your time, because you have a lot to learn!
