It also depends on the leash; if it is quite short like a 1,5m spiral - yes, it can catch up and hit you; that's why I use the leash from Flysurfer - it's 5m long, like a dog leash in a roll, it's long enough for most of crashes. But when I know I will go big/high , like jumping 5+ meters, than I leave the leash on the beach. Another reason - in very light winds or with currents, it's sometimes almost impossible to get back to the board. So all in all - if you are aware of dangers , it's a good thing.

How do you propose to prevent a lost kite board becoming an hazard to other water users? At my spot we tend to find 1 kite board a month floating in the water: straps down. You will not see the board until it is too late. Other equipment gets damaged and people get hurt due to kiters losing their boards. BTW the 4th reason is really stupid!!

I have a concern about grabbing the bar without holding the safety line above the bar.
@IKOINTL 4 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Never hold the bar by letting go of the safety line, this could cause the kite to regain power. As shown in the video, when climbing up the safety line, when you reach the bar, grab the bar with one hand and with the other hand immediately roll the safety line to the bar to secure it.

Good reasons for beginners - but you need a leash on reef breaks. I've been using a leash in the waves for over 15 years. Never had an issue.
@GaetanoCrisci 4 ай бұрын
good reasons, anyway on wave riding many still prefer to use it.... probably losing the board in big waves is a worst conditions....

Your free arm should never come over the board. You do not carve with the back foot. You do not move your shoulders in opposition to the hips, and your shoulders do not remain parallel to the horizon. That is not very good technique at all.

my IKO experience - i paid close to $2k for the IKO instructor training course at miami kiteboarding, including travel and expenses to get my IKO instructor certification. on the 'about us' page of my website i listed my qualifications, level 2 PASA and level 2 IKO instructor ...i'm known for giving safe instruction and have a 5 star trip advisor ratings. the head office of the IKO called and told me i could not list my IKO certification on my website or use the IKO logo because i'm no longer an IKO member. does anyone find that strange? what college or university do you know of, when you graduate asks you to pay a membership fee every year or you can not mention you have a degree from the college or university ...seriously?

Do you feel as a beginner that using short lines to start launching your kite is advantageous? Thanks
@IKOINTL Жыл бұрын
In general for a beginner, you must always start flying your kite with shorter lines and learn all the important skills this way. Like this, you are in total safety. Then, once mastered, you can use longer line that generate more power but you already know how to handle it.

You should never depower the kite when launching, as it reduces your control of the kite once it does launch. Some brands like the one in the video have too much trim adjustment to the point when it is fully trimmed or depowered you can't steer the kite properly. Launching without hooking in is another example of incorrect advice and completely ignores that many people no longer use a hook (IKO again too slow to realise what is actually going on in real kitesurfing). I've been teaching kitesurfing for nearly 23 years and my expired IKO instuctor number is 199
@ViktorValkanov Жыл бұрын
Totally agree with you! De-powering the kite on launching is the biggest misconception in IKO teaching method and it must be reconsidered and banned as soon as possible! I've been teaching kitesurfing for nearly 18 years and my expired IKO instuctor number is 9952
@IKOINTL Жыл бұрын
Pulling on the trim strap is not depowering the kite, it is trimming it, this is a misconception we used to do indeed. It is best to have a kite well adjusted for any manœuvre, it will react better. Glad to see that expired IKO Instructors still come and watch our videos and take the time to comment and give us their feedback ;)
@kitesurfexperiencebypetar Жыл бұрын
@TheStevemccormack I agree with you, it is not mandatory to completely pull the trim line, but is recommended to pull it at least a bit or even completely in strong wind conditions. I also agree with you that is definitely not recommended to launch your kite while being unhooked, just I'm not sure in what part of this video you have seen that is advised to launch the kite without hooking? Thank you Petar
@Pedrorcs Жыл бұрын
at 0:55 the kite is already turning as the rider walks upwind, since there is some tension in the lines, and the backline will tend to make the kite turn at 3:07 the rider says "make sure not to turn the kite before you reach your launch position" and at 3:16 it is reinforced that you should only turn the kite when you are at 90 degrees with your kite. that said, it feels intuitive that if we are at 90 degrees before turning the kite there is a higher chance of the lines getting tangled somewhere, unlike when you keep the kite turning sooner, since then the lines stay +- straight

2 comments I find it best to not walk upwind of the kite as it increases the chance of a line going over the wingtip. I find it best to start turning the kite while you are below the kite using the steering line attached to the wingtip farthest away. Once the kite has formed into a c shape at the side, it is best to take a couple of steps down wind as illustrated but it should be pointed out this is to reduce the power on launch. Excellent video thanks for posting.
@IKOINTL Жыл бұрын
Yes i understand what you are saying, however the iko procedure wants us to don t touch lines and bar untill the kite gets to the C position in order to minimize the risk of creating power or launching the kite prematurely. Also the way you are describing might make the kite slide a lot on the beach, and potentially damaging it if there are shells or sharp objects ;) I believe your method is not wrong but maybe for more advanced riders, iko standards are studied to be used by the majority of the kiters with the idea of minimize risks for riders and gear and people on the beach ;)

Just a question I see in the first part of the video the center lines were de-powered completely but in the last part the guy didnt do the same thing? I'm wondering if the center lines are completely in then the steering lines would be very slack, wont there be more chance of the kite wing tip and lines going over?
@IKOINTL Жыл бұрын
I understand what you are saying, the point is to to walk to the “starting position” always keeping the lines in tension. The fact that the kite is depowered makes it more safe but yes, the steering lines will be more slacked, however the front lines, or powerlines, will have more tension, so its actually going to prevent for them to get stuck around the wing tip of the kite.
