Kitesurfing Technique
Hooked In Back to Blind
This is a beautiful combo for you to add to your repertoire. We love a good hooked-in blind landing. Unhooked freestyle may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but having a few popped hooked-in moves in the bag for low-level showing off is a must. The back-to-blind is a peachy move, and pairing it with an Ole makes it even...
Twin Tip Toeside Duck Tack
Another one straight from the twin-tip duck tack toy shop! This is such a fun transition and should confuse the hell out of your peers. If you’ve been working on the heel side variant and the upwind 360, you’ll understand the kite movement and respect for how much the carving of the board counts. The only thing you need to...
Pop to Toeside with a Tweaked Grab
If you’re already a happy popper and relish the opportunity to give your fins a breath of fresh air whilst spinning your board around and stomping it to toeside, then this move is for you. Popping to toeside is already fully fun and functional, but when you add on a cheeky grab and a styled-out tweak, it transforms the normal...

Learning to Loop Part 4 - Jump Transition Late Loop
We're sneaking this one into our learning to loop series because it really is the ultimate get out of jail card. If you want to pass go and collect 200, it's an absolute must-have. In fact, it's so good and handy that, at times, you could practically consider it as cheating. Anyway, enough of the hyperbole and excitement; we need...
One Footed Front Loop
Before going any further we’ll start by saying that if you’re about to try this then we assume that you already know how to front loop. Therefore we don’t need to painstakingly go through the front loop again, but rather just touch on the important bits and pieces that will make this work. If you need refreshing look back to...
Popped Indy Grab
It’s been a while since we reintroduced how to pop back in IKSURFMAG 84! Hopefully, this means you’ve had plenty of opportunity to practice, hone and perfect your stomp. If the answer is affirmative, then it’s surely time to add a little spice and tart up your pop with a cheeky Indy Grab! This is a great way to style...
Pop Nose Grab
We’ve covered the sent version so now for the pop! This is however going to be more than slightly different, as here you’ll be popping the board up behind you, reaching down for the board whereas if you’ve learnt the sent variation you could bring the board up in front of you whilst reaching for it. The good news is...
S-Bend to Blind
Throwing a decent S-Bend and then stomping it to blind is always going to look tasty. Best bet before you tackle this is at least to have your Raley to Blind sorted, and it’ll make it even more achievable to nail the front to blind first too. That said if you want it to be the real deal, your S-Bend...
Front Loop Transition
It’s about time that we shared the knowledge of how to learn the front loop transition. Some of you may have already mastered the air gybe in many of its various guises, and to add the front loop variant will hopefully put the icing on the cake as far as showing off when you turn around goes. The front loop...
