Technique

Whether you’re enjoying a windy summer or braving a stormy winter, Christian and Karine encourage you to keep focusing on the positives. They’re back with more homework, and this time, they’re jumping straight into one of the most essential fundamentals in kiteboarding: the Jump Transition. Once dialled, this move unlocks a whole world of possibilities. After that, it’s time to dust off the spice rack and revisit the Front Roll. And if you’re feeling confident, Christian and Karine challenge you to level up with a tail grab mid-rotation, adding style, control, and a whole lot of steeze.
