Watch the video 3 Kitesurfing Skills to Practice on the Beach, get out there and practice and let us know if you have any questions.
These are 3 great drills to practice with your kite. If you are a beginner kitesurfer, or even intermediate, you may find some helpful tips. I spent a lot of time on the beach flying my kite and learning kite control and skills to ensure when I actually started trying to go on the water, I already had a great feel for flying the kite itself. 90% of kite surfing is flying the kite itself. Take the time to practice :)

KZbin is a great resource. You can get top tips from great athletes right from your chair. Great way to get free lessons before you even go for your first real lesson.

1. Walking the beach side to side along with the kite sitting on 45 degree (one hand) 2. Back-stalling -> release the back lines (practice stalling and releasing) 3. Water start on the sand (on nice clear sandy beach): sit down - get ready - dive the kite - get up

[@jakobholgersson4400]

Hey Regornel, awesome, glad you liked it :)

[@itchypants4739]

Great tips 👍🏽

[@KC-wb3jp]

You do such a great job in your explanations. I am planning on taking lessons, but i do best if i could understand the concepts in my head 1st as much as possible. Could u do a video on just the details of how one would move the bar, what & how to move the bar with our hands in changing the kite in all the difference location or power zones( 12 oclock, 11, 1, 3, 9, ...etc). The speed, amt of tilting of the bar in all of these transitions...just how to control the kite in order to be able to fly the kite, keep it on the air, but in a manageable way. I hope i am making sense. It would be great for those who wants to start!!!

[@ahmeddiyaee9263]

You are really genius.. Thank you so much

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

cheers mate thanks for the comment :) ~Flukes Kitesurfing

[@craigmckibbin9524]

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Thanks Mark!

[@michelemccullough7909]

Great presentation, I like your style! Would love to see some videos about transitioning from getting up in a water start to cruising, particularly in lighter winds!

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Hey Michele, thanks :) and yes, they are on the list! Once we are back in Aus we will make heaps more videos :)

[@brandonbrown4786]

Going to get lessons soon I watched your video on the basics and lingo. (Will watch again before classes) but I’m binge watching these videos I can’t wait to see if this is for me. And these videos are definitely making me feel more confident! Definitely subscribed now!

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Nice! Have fun! Thanks for subscribing!

[@harryraffill3551]

Thanks so much @flukes 😀

[@AP-fl1ln]

Thank you

[@fecacs9532]

Now I want to teach my son to kitesurf and your videos give me a very good reference. Thanks!

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Oh awesome! Yeah have fun!

[@paraglide01]

Thanks for the tips. I tried kitesurfing 5 years ago but got really frustrated at al those failed waterstarts and then quit. Might give that beachstart a try next summer, see if I can practice this a lot on land.

[@trexinvert]

You might consider "cross training" with waterskiiing. Assuming you develop competent kite mastery, the watersport that I think most similar to kites surfing is waterskiing, where you are towed by a power boat. When you water ski, that "initial" pull and stand-up to ski is a basic skill to master. Utilizing that pulling force with coordination to get on your feet quickly is the key.

[@marcelosalussolia5349]

You are a great teacher mate ! Thanks for that buddy! 🍻

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Thanks mate! Glad you liked it!

[@lokiuk]

That's it. I never flew the kite in my life but i buying one tomorrow and going in the water.. lol.. great video..

[@sirsa000]

Great advice mate! Especially the last one! Gonna work on that

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Nice one! :)

[@andrewdwight5744]

Im going to give it a try, thanks for the tips.

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Awesome let us know how you go :)

[@andrewdwight5744]

@@FlukesKitesurfing ive started with a small kite on the beach just to get used to flying the kite. I then moved up to a full size kite in 20 knot winds, needless to say i ate Sand a few times, I'm just getting used to leaning back and having the kite pull me and jumping on the beach, I'm yet to strap on a board, I'll try that soon.

[@simonjordan2523]

[@ryanzacsanders]

nice thanks mate

[@bennorthover]

LUKE !! I love your videos - THANK YOU !! They are so clear and informative I am learning so much (and am an intermediate 12 years in !!) Love the back stall explanation, i still struggle with adjusting the trim when i am on the water (I now have a North Click bar which i love and has helped me so much, and I imagine the Ocean Rodeo is the same, it looks nice!!) And practicing starts i agree with, i did the same in one of my first lessons with a French instructor in Taiba, Brazil, and he did the same with me, once i had 10 perfect stand ups he let me onto the water, and hey presto i was up straight away. Like you say make sure you choose your location well first, many places I have kited wouldn't be safe to that, but that what common sense is for!! Thanks for all this great content and allowing us some of our own common sense... PS Francis great camera work !!

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Hey Ben, oh that's great to hear! Thanks for the comment and feedback we appreciate it :)

[@neilnguyen7239]

Hi Ben, does it take that much time to be good at kiting?
