Hi all,

Just started to learn how to jump. Had a couple of good days in a row now but whats the story with the ABS.

I thought my core was fairly strong but my ABS feels like ive been ripped in half. Is that because of bad technique or just not used to it.

Relating to a previous post. I have been using a seat harness until now with no problems. After the last few days feels like I need to be getting a fertility test done!

I guess for you fashion conscious kiters borrowing the girlfriends pads for more protection wouldn't be advisable....

Winds coming up.. ciao

I had bad abs last year too. Really bad, so I couldn'teven jump anymore at the end of a session.

I think it's cos when you jump you're effectively lifting your legs and holding them up, which is all done with your stomach.

I did lotsa sit ups in winter and haven't had a problem at all this year, and I'm jumping way more than I did last year.

It probably has a bit to do with technique too i'd say. When you leave the water cleaner and faster, you don't seem to have to worry as much about lifting your legs.
