Kitesurfing Lessons/Board Starting

Board starting is easier than it seems. Your body just needs to get used to the movement as you will be using your eyes to watch the kite, hands to put the Board on and steer the kite, your core to hold your posture and your feet to steer the Board. There is a lot going on here as well as judging the wind strength so you don't take off too fast or too slow. After practice your bio mechanical memory will take over and all these actions will happen together perfectly.

Hold the Kite at 12 o'clock with your left hand close to the lines running through your Bar. Grab your Board with your right hand keeping your eyes on your kite put in your left foot then your right and place both hands back on the Bar. Decide which way you want to ride. To go to the right take the kite to 11o'clock then across to 2 o'clock and pull your chest to the Bar. While you are rising out of the Water point your leading foot towards your Kite, sit back in your Harness and ride downwind.

You will find this easier on one side than the other but it is important you practice to both sides to be able to ride out and back to shore. This is an exhilarating feeling once you get going and are able to ride freely.

you will be hooked straight away!
