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...
Pop Nose Grab Hooked-In
The nose grab is an absolute classic popped trick. It’s guaranteed to get you buzzing and makes for a proper money shot in your holiday snaps. We’re keeping things sensible and looking at the hooked in variant. This type of low altitude move is all about adding some style and as well as working deliciously in flat water, it’s just...

Grabbed Front to Blind Ole
Ok, Ladies and gents, it’s time to spice things up. For starters, we’re going to take your popped front, add some heat to the main with a tail grab, stick it to the blind for a stylish landing, and then Ole out to add the biggest cherry on top! Fear not if that sounds like a proper mouthful and leaves...
Jumping
Jumping Most of us would find it hard to deny the fact that it was jumping that originally flew the flag of appeal and suckered us into this amazing sport. No matter how much we improve, no matter how many crazy powered this or that’s we can pull, there is still nothing quite like airtime. From that first moment of...
Foot Plant Transition
In keeping with recent themes, here we have yet another cheeky transition. This one is an utter joy, nothing too flash, a mere modest planting of the front foot before springing back up and off. If you’ve already nailed the foot wash this one should be a doddle. If however, you haven’t, then your first port of call should be...
Inverted Boned Tail Grab
In the continued quest for making moves look better and feel different, or look different and feel better, or both - you choose, we’re constantly trying to add some zing with a grab or a tweak. Here’s a perfect example. A tail grab with a boned out tweak, and some inversion so that the board is pointing skywards - the...
Sent Double Board Grab
Here’s a good one for all you show offs. Holding a grab always adds plenty of style, so holding two has to be a winning combination! For this combo we’ll be starting with the nose grab and finishing with a boned out tail grab – both crowd pleasers on their own. Therefore we do suggest that you’re capable of both...
Toeside Double Front Loop Down Loop Transition
It is all well and good having a plethora of moves in your box of tricks, but you need to make sure that you keep up with the transitions too. Having more ways to change direction is never a bad thing so here is another one which will have you flying out gracefully with plenty of beans. Before attempting this...
