Kitesurfing Technique
Hooked In Back to Blind
This is a beautiful combo for you to add to your repertoire. We love a good hooked-in blind landing. Unhooked freestyle may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but having a few popped hooked-in moves in the bag for low-level showing off is a must. The back-to-blind is a peachy move, and pairing it with an Ole makes it even...
Twin Tip Toeside Duck Tack
Another one straight from the twin-tip duck tack toy shop! This is such a fun transition and should confuse the hell out of your peers. If you’ve been working on the heel side variant and the upwind 360, you’ll understand the kite movement and respect for how much the carving of the board counts. The only thing you need to...
Pop to Toeside with a Tweaked Grab
If you’re already a happy popper and relish the opportunity to give your fins a breath of fresh air whilst spinning your board around and stomping it to toeside, then this move is for you. Popping to toeside is already fully fun and functional, but when you add on a cheeky grab and a styled-out tweak, it transforms the normal...

Twin Tip Duck Tack
Like the proverbial Phoenix, we’re resurrecting this classic move as it became trick of the week during one of our recent May clinics in Dakhla, so thank you, Sean and Rod, for your unwavering enthusiasm. It’s been over a decade since we last put pen to paper on the twin-tip duck tack! That’s when board shorts didn’t stretch, and kite...
Shifty to Blind
This is a fun little gem, popular amongst the wake style fraternity, which can be done equally effectively hooked or unhooked. It’s a more unusual sight than the classic Raley to Blind and therefore should hopefully get you a few whoops from your peers. The best part of this move is that by preceding the blind with a shifty, you...
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...
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...
Hinterburger Mobe
Finishing up this issue we have an absolute cracker of a freestyle move, the Hinterburger Mobe, also known more descriptively as the Late Mobe. This rather fun and exceptionally stylish mobe is not to be confused with a straight Back Mobe. In this version, what makes it both unique and achievable is that it comprises two moves, which are beautifully...

Here’s another classic killer combo, mixing a single front roll with a tail grab board off....
