Kitesurfing Technique
Beach Bounce Transition
This is a beautifully fun move in its own right, and the first step to a stylish press. You’ve likely seen a picture or a clip of someone doing this, either on soft sand or far less sensibly on a solid object! It’s a great one to add to your armoury and if you choose the right time and spot...
Two Foot Beach Start
Some time back we took you through a beach start method where you anchor the board by putting one foot in the front strap to stop it misbehaving and running off whilst you fly the kite. As effective a method as that may be, the launch can often be preceded by a game of hop scotch as you pogo around...

We'd recommend first practising the leg over one foot in a jump, as you'll have more time and...

Dark Slide Grab
The Dark Slide is definitely one of those tricks that appeals to a lot of folk, whether kids in boots or the more laid back lady and gent usually content with some boosting. Perhaps there is an element of show boating that lies concealed in all of us, and who can argue that gliding effortlessly over the water with but...
