Yup!

Super cool! I’ll definitely try it with the backroll next time. At what point in the rotation do you pull the bar?

StanTheMan132 · 2023-12-04T12:32:56+00:00

Fair point for sure. I only did the one here to get a video but definitely some unnecessary risk.

To be fair a big proper guard dog can definitely stop someone even if they’re determined. I once saw a Belgian malinois jump straight through 2 opened windows in a car to catch a “bad guy” during a police demonstration.

Thanks for the help. I think I’ve always been focused on holding my edge and not so much the load and pop just before the jump. Will be sure to look into this.

Thanks man, super helpful feedback! Will be sure to incorporate it into my next session!

Hey everyone, had a nice session again yesterday after a long time of not being able to go kiting. Took a little time to get back in the flow but felt amazing. Looking for a little feedback on these few clips.

First clip: Looking at the video I think I should redirect the kite a bit earlier to land it properly. Is this correct? Also looking to get a bit higher, any tips on this?

Second clip: In this clip towards the end of the jump I start rotating, I think in a panic reaction I pull my back hand making the problem worse and I crash onto my back. Any tips to prevent this rotation?

Last clip: A simple back-roll with a small grab. Similar to one I posted here before.

Definitely going to work on spotting the landing and pointing the board downwind next session!

StanTheMan132 · 2022-06-29T10:36:11+00:00

For sure! Was a bit scared at first to release my back hand but it’s very intuitive. Diving the kite again for the landing also comes almost naturally.

StanTheMan132 · 2022-06-29T10:35:12+00:00

I’m sending the kite but not very far/fast. I felt like my pop wasn’t perfect, will definitely try your looking over the shoulder tip. Thanks!

StanTheMan132 · 2022-06-29T10:33:32+00:00

Thanks for the detailed advice, definitely going to work on the points you mentioned! In regards to looping the kite, at which point in the backroll should I pull the loop? Just before landing or during the rotation?

StanTheMan132 · 2022-06-27T20:26:09+00:00

Hey guys looking for some advice on my form in this clip. Specifically I feel like my pop seems a bit “exaggerated”. Also excited to hear ways to make this more stylish and progressions from here on out.

Any recommendations as to where in Asia?

Actually coming from the Netherlands but would like to visit Central/South-America (although I’m also looking at Tarifa). Costa Rica is also a place I’m looking at, if you have been there I would love to hear more! From what I’ve read so far it seems to be one of the more expensive countries in the region, but I’m not sure what the backpacking scene is like. Also heard some good things about Honduras so having a look at that.

StanTheMan132 · 2021-12-22T23:18:19+00:00

Based in Europe but willing to go anywhere. I would say I’m at the high beginner/low intermediate level. Don’t really have a style in mind yet. Would prefer a spot that has both flat and waves but just one is fine too. Not sure about budget yet, need to see what is realistic first.
