What a magical morning pump this was 🙌 Beside the fact that I flew my drone in the sea 😅
Oh shit!! Sorry dude!
We’re you able to find it at least to give it a proper burial and pull the memory card??
Few are more personable or fun. You're killing it and I love these very personal tutorials. I just don't see ANYONE else being so adequate in the quality of production. I hope you get all your expenses paid from these efforts. BEHOLD THE BEN ! Ben Beholz ~ beholding to ya ~ Aloha !
Thank you so much bro 🙌 That means a lot to me 🙏
Thanks for this - my instructor also says it's trim adjust, not de-power. But so many people on the beach call it de-power or power adjust. Just last week a guy said he hadn't been out for awhile and asked me which direction of the adjuster would be power or de-power. I didn't want to have a discussion, so I just agreed with him on what he thought; basically letting the center lines out is the same as pulling the outer lines in by the same amount - which is shifting the trim at any given arm position. The "power" aspect I suppose people are thinking of is whether when the bar is all the way out it still hangs in the air or will fall out of the sky - but that also depends on the wind.
Great information! Keeping the kite low in overpowered conditions was a little counterintuitive at first based on what I was initially taught (bring the kite to 12 to slow down).
I get why it was taught that way looking back, but you really have so much more leverage and control over the kite when it's down low, even though it can feel like it's pulling more at times. Combine that with a deep edge, bent knees and in a sticky situation a lot of excess power can be scrubbed.
Although I guess the overall lesson is to not ride *that* over powered in the first place, but things happen!
Of course, it‘s always more fun to choose the right kite size 🤘
4:24 when you have your gopro in your mouth and the people all around you are like wtf is he doing
Haha 😆 I‘m sure they are… 🙈 But next monday they can watch a fun new video 😆
Ben, love watching your content, you have impeccable riding style. I know what you mean riding overpowered. I rode a 14m for a year cause that's all I had starting out. So I always kinda pushed that wind barrier. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you bro !
That‘s raw bro 🙌 For sure you know how to handle strong wind now 😆🤘
Hi Ben,
When you are back in Punta Trettu, I suggest going out with the (kite)foil one day. You have to walk to the channel, but it just takes a couple of minutes. It's worth the effort, you can go to Calasetta, Carloforte and back, and if the wind is good you can even pass by Portoscuso. Three cities on three different islands! an amazing and beautiful trip. Get better and see you🤙
Amazing tip, thank you 🙏 Will try it next time for sure 😊🤘
Interisting tutorial , everyday I learn a little bit more , thanks for share , the wind conditions are crazy 🔝😉
Thanks bro :)
Love your video and presentation of the material, you have a new sub 😊 Tx you! 🤙
Que fuerte. Rakitic haciendo kite..... veremos cuando se enteren en Sevilla
hey Ben, ich verstehe nicht ganz warum ich den edjuster nicht nutzen soll wenn der wind zunimmt. Ich trimme diesen doch in abhängigkeit von der windstärke.
Hey,
der Adjuster ist für das Trimmen des Kites aber nicht um ihn zu depowern. Mit dem Adjuster verschiebt man den Druckpunkt an der Bar.
Man kann mit dem Adjuster aber aus einem 12m kite keinen 10m kite machen. Abgesehen davon fliegt der Kite nicht mehr gut wenn der Adjuster voll gezogen wurde.
Hat das deine Frage etwas genauer beantwortet ?
@@BenBeholzVlogs So ganz hab ichs noch nicht verstanden. Klar du veränderst den Druckpunkt an der Bar, das ist mir klar. Du veränderst aber durch den Trimm am Adjuster auch den Anstellwinkel des Kites zum Wind. Wodurch er natürlich irgendwann auch beschissen fliegt. Aber du machst ja letztendlich auch nichts anderes durchs Wegschieben der Bar. Auch da veränderst du den Anstellwinkel des Kites zum Wind. Du hast schon Recht, der Adjuster macht aus einem 14er keinen 10er. Dass sollte auf jeden Fall jeder wissen. Aber du erweiterst den Einsatzbereich und machst den Kite kontrollierbarer, bzw. viele, die die Kante nicht so gut nutzen können, fahren dadurch kontrollierter. Daher würde ich schon jedem raten, nutzt den Adjuster nicht nur zum Trimm beim starten der Session, sondern nutzt ihn auch während der Fahrt, wenn ihr euch unwohl fühlt, weil der Wind zu nimmt.
Absolut richtig Matthias!
Der Einsatzbereicht lässt sich massiv erhöhen und wenn der Kite „richtig“ konstruiert wurde, bleibt der Kite auch ohne Probleme und praktisch ohne merkbare Nachteile fahrbar. Es gibt neben den Matten- und Foilkites auch Tube-Kites, für die es extra Race-Bars zum extra langem Depowerzug. Dies wohl nicht nur zum Trimmen, sondern zum Depowern!
Hey @Matthias Diekhaus,
danke dir für dein ausführliches Feedback zu Thema Adjuster. Es ist natührlich so, wie du es sagst, verändert der Adjuster den Anstellwinkel des Kites. Allerdings hauptsächlich im komplett gepowerten Zustand der Bar. Da er den Druckpunkt weiter in Richtung Fahrer schiebt. Das ist natührlich besonders interessant für Rider mit kurzen Armen, da diese den Kite auf einem kürzeren Depowerweg komplett depowern könnten.
Für deinen Gedanken ist eines Wichtig:
Unsere modernen Kites sind i.d.R. so auf den Depowerweg der Bar abgestimmt dass man den kompletten Performancebereich des Kites kontrollieren kann. Aus welchem Grund sollte der Kitehersteller den Performancebereich eines Kites aufteilen (80% Depowerweg und 20% Adjuster) ?
Das macht natührlich wenig Sinn und wäre auch Sicherheitstechnisch ungut da:
Der erste Schritt unseres 3-Teiligen Sicherheitssystems ist, die Bar loszulassen, da der kite dann ''ausweht'' und an den Frontlines hängt. Aber mehr als nur an den Frontlines zu hängen geht nicht...
@mm183300 wie das bei Matten und Foilkites ist weiss ich nicht...
haha, i had the same situation last week. the wind was light for so many days in a row, the forecast called for 18knots, so I brought a 15m.... and i got like 25 knots plus. i did a few tacks, but then turned in early because my knee is busted and i could barely stay on the water!
Haha 🙈 when the board edge becomes our best friend 😆
@@BenBeholzVlogs I was in decent size waves, the chop kept making me loose my edge!
Hi Ben, question: what do you exactly mean by "using the adjuster to adjust your kite"? are you talking about e.g. preventing back stalling? when I am overpowered it always helps to pull in the "adjuster" to feel a little less pressure in the bar :)
Hey Pablo,
I personally use the adjuster to prevent back stalling only. If you're pulling the adjuster to have less pressure on the bar, you only moving the pressure point towards you - but over all the kite is not really loosing power. It just feels like... The big downside of this is, the kite will fly very bad and indirect. That's why I always prefer to not use the adjuster, instead learning how to use your body, board and the kitecontrole for compensating the oversized kite.
Was that helpful ?
@@BenBeholzVlogs absolutely, thank you very much, very clear! I agree with the erratic flight of the kite... it becomes very unpredictable and feels slower turning :) I will take your advice and start using more body and edge control, will let u know how it goes - cheers mate and keep on the awesome job!!
@@BenBeholzVlogs Hi Ben, I have heard now a couple of times in your videos you’re not using the adjuster to de-power. Not sure if I can agree with what you state above that moving the bar towards me by pulling the adjuster does not de-power the kite. Moving the bar towards the chicken loop of course provides me lot of room to de-power of the kite in case of a gust - and thereby reducing risks of being lifted or so in case of a gust. I would call this de-powering…What do you think?
It is always Fun watching your videos! Thanks
Thank you Georges 😊🙌
Omg thank you so much for my weekly dose of kitesurfing. I don’t know what i would do whitout it lol probably cry in my corner ahaha. Since i move back in canada i havent been able to touch my kite for month, due to the wind condition and the spots that are rare around where i live 😢.
Thank you for your motivating feedback. I hope you'll have a good session soon again :) I know there is quite a kite community in Canada (OurKiteLife)
@@BenBeholzVlogs unfortunately they live in toronto and i’m in montreal even tho it’s an island the wind is rare and the spots are not easy to access. That’s why i live my kitesurf fantasy mostly trough youtube and your channel in general 😅. I might have a chance to kit during winter break. I’m going to dubai and i’m so excited!
@@art3mis86 aiii, I forgot... Canada is big - hahaha
Where do you live? We are kiting a lot in Ontario, many spots. But depending on where you are it could be slim pickings.
@art3mis86 should have read the full thread first. The wind here is rarely great. After all it’s Canada. Yesterday I had 22 kts gusting to 35 🤯 It looks like there are a few spots in Montreal though. Soon you’ll be able to snow kite too. As long as you have a good wetsuit, you’ll be out boosting almost any time of the year. ✌️
two weeks ago i was on my 13m north reach when the wind went 25knots + gusts (im like 73kg). was my first session after only starting last season and damn it felt sketchy, after 20 minutes i swapped to my 10m and as soon as it was pumped up the wind died hahaha.
Amazing video! I didn't quite understand what do you mean by using the adjuster to adjuts the kite instead of depower it.
Cheers!
Hey Martin,
Thank you ! I use my adjuster mainly to trim my kite straight after launching it. To prevent backstalling during the session. Aswell you can move the pressure point of the bar towards you. This might be very helpfull for smaller riders with shorter arms.
On modern kites, the whole performance of the kite can be controlled with only the bar already (no adjuster needed).
What people think often is that the kite generates extra depower in the high end, but that is not completely right.
Depending of the kite and brand, the kite might have a little less power (when the bar is completely depowered) but aswell it will fly very bad and indirect.
That‘s why I try to tell people to use edge control for compensating overpower.

@@BenBeholzVlogs Thank you mate!
Awesome! Is this your RV or you rented in Germany? If rental, what is best company to rent RV In Germany or Europe in general?
It‘s mine, sadly I don‘t know anything about renting RVs 🙈Sorry 🤌
Hi Ben, thanks for the great content, keep it up. Do you have any tips on how to regain control in high wind when you accidentally pick up a lot of speed? Cheers Gertjan
Hey,
thank you :)
In this case I would ride instantly straight towards the kite, than steering it up to 12 and brake…
Good to know! I'm a beginner and I think I was trying to do what's actually more of a pop, which is not what I wanted and since I was still learning, usually became a crash.
Hi Ben, nice Video! Where exactly do you have been in Hyeres? Where did you park the RV? Is it Port Du Niel on Iles de Giens?
Hey, thank you:
1. Pumpfoil = port du niel
2. Wingfoil = Plage d‘almanarre (mainland)
3. Kitesurf= Plage d‘almanarre (island)
That's just nicely powered ;-)
Haha 😆
For how long you could pump foil? Thinking about buying gear next summer. Could you kite with this big foil? Or only wing?
The world record is 20+ min. This depends a lot to the foil you‘re using. The classic foil pump frontwings are big wingfoil frontwings. But for kiting they have toooo much lift…
Ben, do you ever ride a Core Impact2 kite for unhooked? Is it in your quiver at all?
Hey, I tried and love it. But if the wind is gusty, it becomes very sketchy to ride…
cool stuff hope the feet is good soon. question: for looping in my 7m in strong winds, I tend to not "break" the kite(make power lines short) at all, cos I thought that way ill turn quicker, but the other day I saw some video of a pro and he mentioned something about pulling some adjustment for this conditions, whats ur thoughts? thanks
Thank you ! The kite must fly stabile with a complete powered bar. If it‘s stalling you should pull the adjuster a little until it flys well.
Yes it will loop quicker but it might backstall after the loop….
@@BenBeholzVlogs thanks mate speedy recovery
Gute Besserung
Vielen Dank :)
Schöner Morgenpump! 😊✊🏻
Genau ! Morgen wird schön gepumpt 😊🤘
90kg rider in low wind condition 9-12knts . What kite to buy Nexus 2 13.5m2 or Gts 13.5m2 ?
He just rode in 30 Knott's and you want to ride in 9? 🤷
haha 😆
I recomment a 15m Nexus 3 😊🤘
@@BenBeholzVlogs for that bad wind I have Hydrofoil with one strut kite. I need something when 12 is barely not enough. But want to ride little bit more. You could make a video for Low Wind strategy :)
@@AleksejAganin all right, I see 🤔 But still - I would give the 15m a try
Denglisch 😂
We want to turkish subtitle please
Wo bist du da gewesen ?
Habe es nicht verstehen können !
Das war Hyeres in Frankreich
