Sticking a clean landing after a big jump is one of the most challenging skills in kiteboarding—a fact Steven Akkersdijk knows better than most. If you drop too fast, lose control mid-air, or fail to absorb the impact, you’ll crash hard instead of riding away smoothly.
In this SA Masterclass, Steven breaks down three essential techniques to help riders land high jumps with confidence and control. You’ll learn how to manage your descent, time your kite movement, and use your legs to absorb the impact. Plus, he’ll cover common mistakes like coming down too vertically, oversteering your kite and the proper bar position.
