Does anyone have a spare set they can lend me........ I don't seem to have enough to throw the head and rotate when boooosting big.


I have them sorted with small to medium sent jumps, but when i intentionally jump big and go to rotate i fall apart.

Any tips, or should i put a pair on layby???

One thing that helped me to finish the rotation and to face down wind for landing, is too lift your knees up and catch the wind with your board facing you down wind

Kite control is key. That's why the sport is called kiteboarding, not boardboarding

It's a LOT easier to go big and just spin as much as possible, and concentrate on flying the kite as you normally would; if you focus on the bar, and forget about which way you're facing until you need to spit the landing, it's a cinch. And you'll find that as you redirect the kite, it'll pull you around to face the landing.

Front rolls I find easier to go big and multiple. A single rotation for a back roll is basicaaly boost to facing upwind, hang around looking at the view then redirect and whip the body around to land.

The worst thing that has happened is redirecting too soon and facing backward as you slam into the water. As F-cab said, keep the kite at 12 til you've got a feel for it...

Oh, key point - make sure you rotate around the long head-toe axis cleanly. You'll spin easier and in the beginning, it's easier to control...

Balls are the only thinks holding us back from doing all sorts of stuff. This is what makes us all different riders, the bigger the balls the more impressive trick we do. Confidence in you gear is also key. If your on a kite you don't have 100% confidence in it may hold you back from progressing.

Have a go at a smaller one's then build - big .
I need all I got !
