  • How To Take Off Like a PRO | Big Air Kitesurfing tutorial. In this video I share my recipe for a powerful, explosive take off. With this technique, you will learn to hold more power in your edge when you take off, enabling you to send your kite faster and reach new heights. I've been traveling the world and kiting non-stop with some of the best riders for the past 3 years. By learning from best practices and refining my own take off, I was able to break the Woo record twice within a few weeks of eachother. I'm on a mission to share everything I've learnt with you! So please subscribe to my channel and join me for coaching! Let's get high! Nyeoww!

    Awesome Video!
    How do you actually do that Hop? straighten both legs or pushing more from the Tail? giving max effort or just a bit? And for Step 1 you sending the kite just with medium Speed?

    • @gethighwithmike
      @gethighwithmike  4 года назад +17

      It's a small push off the water, followed by lifting the legs and thus lifting the board out of the water. For step 1, I'm sending it with medium speed. Not fast yet. Good question!

      Get High with Mike - Advanced Kitesurf Coaching when you say small push, is that through both feet or rear foot only, also when doing this small push do you move your body a bit up away from the water or lean back as much as possible ? Ps when are you in tarifa this year ?

      @@raphaelvvidal Good question. It seems to me that if you did not lean back hard (jump upwind - away from the kite) you would inevitably drift downwind and cancel out the benefit of the whole sequence.

    Ok a boring professional engineer kiteboarder here. I like the "energy in the system approach". The main energy storage comes from our body's momentum as that is where the mass is (especially after the off season). If we ride twice as fast the energy increases by 4 times. We want edging and line tension only to increase our speed right until we send it. At this point we use hard edging and pop to convert forward energy into vertical acceleration, airflow over the kite plays its part during the transition as it helps convert forward speed to lift and that too is squared relationship to speed. After liftoff we now rely on airflow over our almost static kite to add more energy to the system. If we edge too hard too early we dont build enough energy to be converted by our kite and pop.

    Thanks bro, it s very comprehensive tutorial !!!! Just wanna add that as for me the hardest part is to stay upwind while you hopping. And the only way to achieve it is to have a very strong core! With the weak core and especially with the fat belly shoulders lean forward initially, no way you can stay upwind !

    @serg15101983 2 года назад +1

    I wouldn’t say that short answer is gravity. The short answer is momentum. After the peak of your pop your body starts going down with some speed. Speed*weight= momentum. This momentum resists the pull of your kite while you’re sending it to 12. Normally, with such fast sending, kite would pull you out of your edge. Your down momentum prevents you from loosing your edge for like a second.

    Hi Mike, great video as usual!
    1- How hard upwind should you be riding during the approach, before the preload (upwind vs. speed)?
    2- When are we getting the edging video you talked about? 😁

  • @kryszczuk
    @kryszczuk 4 года назад +4

    Very cool video and informative. But I am not so convinced about the physics behind. It might seem like a good idea to "use gravity" to dig the edge deeper. But I am not convinced how is that going to happen if at the same time you are lifting the kite up, which takes your weight off the board. Also, as you get air you lose speed (same in kiting, skiing, car racing, you name it), and you are actually bound to go a little downwind as you do your little hop, hence actually reduce the line tension. My intuition would be that you would build more tension in the lines and more kite speed from staing on your edge
