Agree with all tips 👍 that would’ve helped me a lot back in the day 😂 What you could also talk about is what to do when the wind suddenly picks up due to rain. I’ve seen many beginners trying to leave the water way too late instead of riding out where it is much safer to wait.
Nice and informative video, as usual. The only thing missing, in my opinion, is the usefulness of doing loops in lulls to avoid the fall of the kite (I find that move extremely helpful).
Hi Jorge. That's a really good tip. Loops can save the kite in even less wind than steering back and forth. I did have that advice in my first draft of this tutorial. But then I cut it out as it was already covered in my light wind video - plus I felt this tutorial was getting a bit too long. I'm glad you've added it in the comment. Cheers.
Thanks for this video! Usually when getting a gust I was speeding up so much that I had to let go of the bar completely, witch eventually almost always led to a fall. I will give these tips a try, especially the downwind trick. Thanks!
If the gusts are very short and intense (usually offshore winds) i recommend to always keep your core tight and low but kind off close to the board. That helps very good to not fall back when winds are getting low very quickly. Makes it easier to bring the weight over the board.
There's more info on front stalls, light wind and assessing wind in these tutorials: Assessing wind: ruclips.net/video/PGvR_fzbzDs/видео.html Front stalls: ruclips.net/video/RoU5hJlStFI/видео.html Light wind: ruclips.net/video/YwuQgEsKKa0/видео.html
Yeah. I had a stall from 12, then a huge gust ripped me right out the water & the board and flew me over a good few metres of water before smashing me down hard... It's no joke
Really good video thank you. Is it a good idea to practice riding in strong gust by powering up your kite to the point it is overpowered and trying out your tips?
Hi. I haven't really experimented with that. But perhaps a good options could be to try holding the bar in about half way once riding and then see if you can slow down using your board by increasing drag as shown in the tutorial. I think that could be a good test. Plus you can always then let out the bar if you can't slow down.

Such a great video, unfortunately I had to learn most of those things the hard way. Specially speeding up and don’t know how to regain control
Thanks very much Richard. Sorry I didn't have this finished a few years ago for you :-)

Thanks for your help to kite community ❤
Always love your videos! Helped me back in the old days when I learned kitesurfing and getting better at my jumps.
I'm really glad to have helped.
love your tutorials, if you add strapless (surfboard) and foiling sections for those of us that do not ride twintips as much it would be great
Wow! This explains a LOT
Great video for me. Very informative. Thanks.
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it.
great content as always
Good content thank you
Where do you buy those boards that are always the right way up and the right way round when you drag up to them!
🙏 Danke thank you
