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...

The Pop to Toeside
Having had a good look at how to fix your toeside in the last issue, it seems sensible to move on whilst making the most of your newly polished skills. And there is no better way to enjoy your twin tip toeside experience than popping to get there! Now, if the idea of popping sends shivers down your spine, or...
Twin Tip Heel to Toe Tack
It’s funny how moves that are the norm on other kite craft are not so often practiced on the trusty twin tip. The Duck Tack and Toeside Duck Tack were legitimate rip offs from the surfboard collective. This issue we’re unashamedly borrowing from kiting’s most recent, at least in popularity terms, evolution. Not quite loyal to the foil, but cheers...
Double Back Loop to Toeside
This jump really typifies what kiting is all about, both getting air and adding together moves, marrying them, adding parts on like a text bundle and coming out with something new and exciting. The constant challenge in kiting makes it fun, and combining skills that you already have makes it achievable. With this win-win in mind, let's ponder the killer...
Hand Wash
Oddly enough it’s possible that you already know how to back roll hand wash, maybe even front roll hand wash, but chances are you’ve not even considered a simple, no frills approach to the cleanest of moves. This seems to be a popular photo choice at the moment, and as there’s nothing more in than being en mode, lets get...
Indy Pop to Blind
If you’re keen on style there is no simpler way to ooze some steeze than add a grab. And as we have often said it’s a great way to freshen up and reignite your passion for a move that you already have in the bag - so it’ll not only look the puppy’s but also feel da bomb! Here we...
BLT Indy
If only we had a euro for every time that we’ve witnessed the sheer pleasure, excitement and downright chuffed-ness on a kiter’s face, when they’ve refurbed one of their stock moves with some form of kiting update! As enjoyable and frustrating as learning remains, seasoning something that you’re already capable of cooking up, does wonders for the soul and can...
