How To Slow Down Kiteboarding: 3 Steps to a Controlled Stop

This kiteboarding tutorial will teach you 3 techniques to slow down & come to a controlled stop.
How To Slow Down Kiteboarding, 3 Steps to a Controlled Stop:
1) Bring your kite Higher to slow down
2) Edge Hard and steer your board upwind
3) Sheet out slowly as your kite comes up to 12, you should be coming to a controlled stop.
-Hips & Shoulders back, your upper body should not be leaning over in front of the board. (resist the forward pull of the kite)
Using a combination of all 3 will help you to slow down under control, from here you can manage your speed to continue riding, change directions with a transition, or come to a complete controlled stop.
Choosing the right kite size is really the first step in the ability to manage your speed. It's much easier to come to a controlled stop without crashing or getting pulled off your board when you are not overpowered.

Best tip for me as a beginner (just hurt my knee from going uncontrollably too fast) is "try not to pick up too much speed in the first place" . It's a lot better to sink trying to edge/upwind having less speed than needed, rather than pick up too much speed and then start throwing hail Marys. Cheers for the channel, it's been more helpful than many of my lessons.

Sweet info, love your content. Keep it up Luke.

[@Bulldog97656]

so stoked on your vids thanks for the tip mate!!

[@nicolasboudet9302]

Hi Luke. I don’t need to learn that for years but it reminds me my beginner experience 🤓when I just made waterstart after my third lesson...I immediately enjoyed speeding at 30km/h on the water (18mph) 😎when I realized that nobody showed me how to use the brake🤭🥴 So the great interest of your vid during fast progression to avoid running at same speed on the beach to the car park🥶

[@anthonyrutten4018]

You’re a great instructor!!! I wish I could come take lessons from you but I can’t so I thank you very much for these great videos!!I have learned a lot of skills and am able to use them now. Please keep up the great work!!🤙🏼

Luke, greetings from North Dakota, USA. Hardly a mecca of kite boarding despite how much wind we have here. About to get my first rig this week. Been watching your videos for over a year, as well as other tubers. Love your vids, you are a great teacher. I only hope when I hit the water I'll at least remember a fraction of all the knowledge you've put out on your channel. If I do, I'll progress quickly and safely. Thanks buddy 🤙😀

Thank you very much

[@cian4380]

I need this, while I'm riding I hit a small wave, lose my edge, speed up to lightspeed and can't slow down

[@juelztate4269]

I realize it's quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@musajohnathan934]

@Juelz Tate I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@spencererick4766]

@Juelz Tate Try flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@jasonkyler8444]

@Juelz Tate i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@gregoryabraham6565]

@Musa Johnathan Yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :D

[@mrajan999999]

Wonderful explanation and very clear..excellent and thanks man

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Glad it was helpful! You are welcome mate!

[@ingeniouswild]

one issue I had was that edging to slow down is difficult in waves. not all places have nice flat water in good wind conditions. it's sort of the same problem in snowboarding if you try to carve uphill and the slope is destroyed by all riders during the day :) so after some crap sessions due to this I moved to a flat water spot and suddenly could practice my speed control much better.

[@marcosilva2479]

Thanks

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

for sure no worries mate :) We'll cya in the next one ~Flukes Kitesurfing

[@2007dalin]

cape verde isn't in quarentine? lucky. looks like nice conditions

[@EternityKX]

Thanks that's really helpful... I was doing exactly what I shouldn't have been doing 🤣

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

haha perfect

[@samueltwaites5517]

And last thing before ejecting the chicken loop. Let go of the bar. A kite by itself will either go to 12 or to the edge of the window. Calm yourself and try again.

[@FlukesKitesurfing]

Yeah for sure thanks Samuel!

[@sergejmaksymenko8426]

How i can choose correct size of kite? Thank you

[@AlexandarSrdic]

depends on wind
