How To Foot Plant Transition
The Foot Plant Transition is a veritable blast from the past, conjuring memories of Vari and the original rock star crew going absolutely bananas in Los Roques all those years ago. The great news is, if you’ve been working on the beach bounce from last issue you’ve already got the beach approach and depart prep done! If you haven’t already, it’s also worth honing your grabbed jump transition and then perfecting the foot out variant. These two will polish the combo of your one-handed kite diving skills, whilst you’re busy with the minor inconvenience of both freeing and replacing your foot, and they will also help no end with your landing. Final thought on wind direction here. You really want to try this onto a sand bank with some offshore bias in the wind. This way you can use the kite to pull you downwind away from your landing zone, rather than back the other way!
