Technique

Christian and Karine are back again, and they have two new moves for you to learn! First up, they are refining your beach start with the two-footed approach, no more awkward hopping around with one foot in. This is all about dropping the board and springing on in one smooth movement. Then they move on to the beach bounce transition, full of fun, a few inevitable slow-motion wipeouts along the way, but once you have it dialled, you will be in complete control.

Kitesurfing Technique - Twin Tip Heel to Toe Tack
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...

Pop to Toeside

Some time ago back in the annals of history, or issue 2 to be precise, we looked at how to slide the board from heelside to toeside. Probably one of the first tasty moves any of us learnt. Now it’s time to take the Lucky Luke step even further and actually pop to toeside, which could also be your first...

If you want to drop the clutch, pull the pin and start with a bang, there aren’t many moves which offer such instant gratification.
