Learning my MOST DIFFICULT kitesurfing move.

I’m taking you with me to show you how I prepare and learn a new kitesurfing move. This time I decided to go for the most difficult kitesurfing move I ever decided to learn. At first it seemed impossible but in the end I understood a lot and I’m sure I will master this trick very soon !
Stay tuned for the next episode 🙌🏼

So sorry for the bad sound… next time will do things better, I will take you with me for a session in a very special way :)

[@sebcam9498]

Great advice about impact vest and helmet. Ribs are weak spot, and one day or another you’re gonna have something hitting your head. So, proper way to avoid injuries that can put you out of water for weeks!

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

oo yeah, definitely way more confident to crash hehe :)

[@Eggile]

I appreciate this so much haha. Even for intermediate it gives you an idea how to approach new skills. I stronglz identify with your unbreakable will to evolve. Keep going Senpai 🙏

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Nice, thank you for your support :))

[@JeanPaulRais]

great video, you are a far better kiter than me and it still is super helpful to watch you progression process...thank you

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you Jean, I'm glad you like to watch this type of content, in the future I will do more of it :)

[@sabvideos1]

I think you need to keep your center of mass close to the axis of the spinning - which is what you're trying to accomplish by bringing your elbow in. But when you spin off axis (which you can see compared to baptiste), your legs/feet/board are rotating far away from this center of axis so you can't spin fast. If you can get the spin rotation to be directly around an imaginary pole that runs from your head straight down to feet I think you'd spin a lot faster.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

it must be true :) ... Was not easy to find the axis, but after watching my second session on the clips, I realised where it's my second mistake, and I'm sure that next time I do even 4 rotations.. stay tuned :))

[@sabvideos1]

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar yeah its hard im always off axis ha. there are some good videos of janek G doing "the tornado" you could also study

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Janek I have seen going in frontroll spin just with his board off, which looks easier, but not sure 😅 with his board on the feet I have seen him spinning just in backroll

[@Olli_Schwarz]

really interesting format! Keep at it and much luck for your next tries :)

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you Oliver :))

[@ktkktlzubi]

yea the problem for you as for me I guess with this trick.. u have to "unlearn" how u do your basic frontrolls. I can do "basic" tripple frontrolls but this is a different beast 😀💪 but after watching u, I gona try it again the next time on the water, great video Hvala ti

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

couple of days ago I understood where it was my mistake and now I was able to do 4 rotations and I'm sure it would be even more in stronger winds. On the left side didn't got a good feeling yet, but it's coming :))

[@eutoteu8745]

just an opinion...it looks like you have to be more under the bar and the knees more straight (more like a propeller :) ). Baptiste looks straight in the air...anyway, very nice content !!!

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Exactly, giving my best to positioned my body as he does but not managing it yet.. way more difficult than i taught 😅

[@pelealexandru]

so fun to watch! and also nice to see kite videos from las terrenas. do you think it's better than cabarete?

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Honestly I have never kited in Cabarete but people say that is great for advanced kitesurfers and that the wind is a bit stronger than in Las Terrenas. I was in Cabarete just for 3days(had to stay 7 days), I didn't like how it looks all together, so I decided to come back to LT :)

[@MrSamucbr]

Real nice, i wonder if you have any vid with 'all things with one hand' like water starting and so on

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hello Samuel, unfortunately for now I do not have a video how to water start with one hand, but in the future I will do it :)

[@alexperedoabejas8605]

Dude if you are stocked I am in deep shit jajaja i need a kite retirement to spend a month in the water to progress you will continue over there in winter or maybe before I will go like 20’days I feel stocked great video like always is cool to see you happy!!! Continue in this line dude !!! Best wishes

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Thank you Alex, hopefully we kite together one day :))

[@alexperedoabejas8605]

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar at the end of the summer season here I will go to kite over there for sure I need a spot with flat water and windy everyday jajaja

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

hehe, have in mind that in September, October and November here in Dominican Republic it is not expected to be windy. The best months with the windy in here are June, July and August as there is Trade wind blowing every day all day... during the winter unfortunately it can happen to be without wind for 7-10 days, but again it can be windy every day for 20 days. What is goo during the winter, that if there is no wind there are super nice waves for surfing, and we also have efoil in case there is no wind and if you do not like to surf :) as well Las Terrenas is super beautiful that no one of our friends, clients never complained if there was no wind, as here is so many beautiful things to see, the nature is just amazing :)

[@elliotbawden7205]

Any tips for choppy water. Any time i try to work on a jump or some sort of trick I get tripped up in the chop.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hey Elliot, yes choppy water is definitely a challenge for all level of kitesurfers.. the chop is always different on different kite spots, so it's pretty much all about you, to get use to the chop and have a good reaction when is a time to go for a trick. sorry it is difficult to help you with it if I'm not with you on the spot.

[@MatDGVLL]

Maybe your legs are blocking you from spinning..? Both Batiste’s legs are straight. Hannah does it with back leg suer straight and the front one bent

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hey Mathieu, thank you for your comment... yes I had a lot of hesitation what to do with my legs, I did try to bent my front knee but didn't make a huge difference. Now when you told me that Hannah is doing the front roll spin, I remember it seeing it and I went to check her videos again, but actually she is bending the back knee and straighten the front knee, which I definitely didn't expect. how ever, after I analysed the videos of my second session, I can clearly see where it was my mistake, and I'm sure that next time I will do it much better. Stay tuned and thank you for watching :)

[@Gliping]

​@kitesurfexperiencebypetar i also think that you are bouncing much with your legs. It take a lot from your momentum. Let your back muscles take some work from a stomach muscles. Be a needle as he said. Thank you for a journey

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

I also believed it was a very easy move before I went for it 😅 body control for this move I found it very sketchy ... but next time I have it :))

[@TomKitesurf-Passion]

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar Nice videos and what i know from my front rolls(first trick i learned) key is Head + the body(arms/board/legs) need to be in one line y-axis then you will get massive rotation speed. Best Practice => skiing on ice like a princess :D when they get there arms and legs close to the body they got super fast turning speed ! Found a old video where you can see a interesting move with my arms with this small tweak getting more easy kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHW7Z2qlq6eWfqM

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

@@TomKitesurf-Passion yes, definitely it's everything I was focused on but didn't go as smoothly 😅 and you can do spin Front roll 3 rotations and more?

[@rburgst]

IMHO you are taking the wrong hand to the shoulder. You are doing a counter rotation. Taking the arm to the shoulder should increase you turning speed so you have to reach into the spin direction.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Hehe, yes this would have sense if I do not have to hold on the bar with my front hand... So in snowboarding where you do not have the bar I believe it is way easier ;)

[@rburgst]

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar you can reach over on the bar. Just take the left bar end with your right hand. On the other hand by the time you have to do your power dive you should have already completed all rotations and can reach back with your 2nd hand. IMHO your spin should be 2x as fast if you are doing it right.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

Do you have any video of you doing it so that I can see it? I’m following the body movement of Baptiste that is able to do lots of rotation without reaching the other side of the bar, for now the goal is to do it this way. What you are saying definitely has sense that the rotation should be faster, anyway I want to stick on Baptiste body movement and succeed in understanding how is possible to rotate as fast as he does :)

[@rburgst]

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar I managed to land two attempts. I take my back hand behind my back to increase rotation speed.

[@kitesurfexperiencebypetar]

@@rburgst hmm sound interesting I will test it next time. btw last days I completely got a filling on my right side, doing the same movement as Baptiste, finally my rotations are increasing one after the other, yesterday landed 4 rotations multiple times.. but I will give it a go with putting my back hand behind my back as you explained.
