I like to compare these two small goals to music theory in music, every great musician has had to apply the theory of music before giving free rein to his creativity as well as each rider before returning back to same point of departure needs to work on basic technique .
But believe me, once in possession of the right knowledge and the correct posture you are truly self-kiters.
On various blogs I read the so-called “walk of shame” which is a bit ‘funny but we’ve all been.
Who among us, more o less experienced riders, has not minced kilometers to return to the starting point?
Who has not cursed the sky for long and strenuous walks upwind with the kite pulling like a beast in the opposite direction?
It ”s all about balance of weight and body posture, let’s see common mistakes and small observations:
- A) go in the water only when it is windy.
all of us at the beginning of our career as rider “poisoned” from getting into the water always also with a breath of wind, we made this mistake.
Upwind in 10/12 knots is only by experienced riders, wait a day with more ‘wind, the days more’ windy forgive you many of your mistakes, in weaker wind will be much more difficult to bring home the result.
- B) Posture is everything.
The distribution of the weight of the body and the position to be taken do 90% of the result.
Remember: front leg outstretched, back leg slightly bent.
After the first glides almost tend to pander to pull the kite with his back, assuming the position I defined “shitting” (the term I’ll be forgiven, but is figurative),
in contrast with the back straight you have to fight the fire by leaninig back, pelvis as much as possible should be pushed forward (fancy way of describing that you have to squeeze your ass).
All this is targeted exclusively to put the table on the edge (and not flat on the water) and make it work in the correct way.
Curl upward push on the heels and toes (especially on the back leg) are nothing more than small gimmicks that will make you reach the first result.
- C) Landmarks
Take as reference points slightly upwind of you and try to steer the board in that direction, but careful, tighten the upwind will stop completely, it’s up to you to find a compromise between speed and direction.
Turn your head in the right direction helps to assume the correct posture, so as to leave dangling the front arm (though not the ultimate control of the wing and the security of a novice rider).
What to add?
We must try, try, try, try, try.
Set aside the film quotes, We are waiting for you in the school / Kitesurf spot “Stagnone Kitesurf “ Marsala Stagnone, remembering that our conditions of the lagoon with shallow water and flat even in the days of the storm makes it easier and faster learning of all techniques the kite.
Falls from the board? Kite in the water? No problem you recover standing (always touch it anywhere on the lagoon) and try again.
Simple right?
