Dude Luke your strapless videos are awesome, we need more !! Especially on jumps/airs, having a hard time getting the technique right I hope you can help. Thanks !

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Sweet thanks mate, yeah going to get a lot more done this season! :)

[@wstt4]

where is the regular strapless jump video? Should I learn to jump with straps first? (I learned on a directional board, haven't used a twin tip, and only used straps for a short bit on directional board.) Thanks for all the great videos.

[@angelpena9425]

Great tutorials mate! Seen this one a few times already. Getting there with the landing!

Glad it helped mate!

[@MrLmaialeal]

Luke, great video. Can you do another one focus on basic Ollie on flat water. Tips e how to achieve it?

[@stveloop9452]

Hey Luke, is there any secret to landing a SB so you reduce the risk of board damage? Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@skdv1347]

Thanks, helpful... My question is: I ride a Soul 15 with Mitu board. I can reach highs of 10-15m with twintips, but only a few ones with strapless. How can I do to get higher, without having my kite backwards and stuck in the edge of the window? Thanks

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Hey SKDV, yeah a great question for when you want to go high. When doing a "sent Jump" strapless you have to do a couple of different things. The main focus is what hand you will have on the bar and when. An example of this would be doing a rodeo. Doing a rodeo would allow you to send the kite back as you describe, then put the board between your legs, Put both hands on the bar, then steer the kite forward, then take the board out from your legs with your front hand, and then backloop landing as explained in the video. This will allow you to do sent jumps. Another option is to throw a backroll where you reach down with your back hand to grab the board. this again will let you drive the kite back forward with your front hand while flying. To land this though, i find i have to do a complete kite loop using my front hand and land toe-side with the kite back at 12. Its a little more complex but forms the basis of a lot of the big jumps we see on tour. I'll try and get some videos made for them but i hope that gives you something to work toward :)

@@FlukesKitesurfing thank you. It helps, but for sure, videos will help. Meantime, I’ll try to figure out... Many thanks 🙏🏾

[@tomyhyz]

Have you attached a grip strip on the board to make it easier to hold te board ?

[@daimondhead98]

nice tutorial !

[@anthonyjones2793]

Hey Luke, great video as always ,,, so what island is the Robinson Club situated on and is that the best one for strapless directional riding ???

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Hey Anthony! this is on Sal. Its a good spot. Has some waves and a good spot for freestyle.:)

[@kountchev1]

great!!! keep them coming!!! j

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

thanks mate!

[@tomyhyz]

Do you use anti slip tape to Grab the board?

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Thomas Heyse yeah, I prefer wax but wax is banned in the comps so I use this.

[@tomyhyz]

@@FlukesKitesurfing thx bro

[@bartbruin]

New video coming up soon?

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

haha good eye thanks for keeping us in check (we've been to busy kiting haha) we'll have to send you a sticker or something :) we'll get a fresh vid out this sunday. drop us a line via email for your sticker & we'll cya in the one ~Flukes Kitesurfing

[@carlosdemosteyrin314]

I’ve been trying this but every time I loop the kite It shoots me off my board sideways 😢

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Hey, great to hear you're going for it! If you are getting pulled to hard, try looping just slightly later. By delaying the loop it will reduce the power of the loop

[@Izzythemacaw]

Hello bro can you gift me a kite 😭
