Kite Moves

Some Guidelines

Learning how to kitesurf for most is actually easier and takes less time than learning how to windsurf. In the beginning you will only go downwind, after you master staying on your board, controlling your kite, and kiting upwind as well as down you will be ready to explore moves and tricks.

Like any sport there are many matters to be considered, take care to watch the weather conditions. It is important to understand the weather and the effects of strong and gusts of wind and how it can turn kite dreams to nightmares.

  • Only kite out as far as you are willing or as far as you are able to swim back from!
  • Never launch kites in crowded swimming areas
  • Do not lay your lines out along the beach
  • Whenever possible try not to launch kite from the sand
  • Be willing to help other Kite Surfers as they re-enter the beach
  • When making jumps in the water, measure the downwind zone
  • If you can not swim far distances avoid going deep into the ocean
  • Use your self-rescue signals when killing power to the kite
  • Best to wear a life-jacket or a buoyancy jacket.
  • Keep yourself and others safe during launch and re-entry to the beach.
