Congrats man! your tutorials are really among the best kite tutorials....and in a sport like this i would say they are really important

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thank you ndr, much appreciated 🤙

[@tmotten]

Great vid. Loads of insights not often included. Pushing the bar out mid air is a game changer. Learnt that by accident but it changes everything.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

The details are often what makes the difference. Keep on shredding 🚀

[@VaIakas]

Really enjoy your tutorials. Will practice this one for sure. Especially as I was going to learn kiteloop + heliloop, this exercise is a perfect one to do before.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

It's the perfect step up. Enjoy and have fun with it 🤙

[@supermeiki]

Amazing teacher……u give me so much professional input to work on my progression after 13y kiten

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's awesome to hear! I'm very happy that my tips are helping you progress your riding 🤙

[@frantribuzzio]

Nice! So clear, man!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it

[@howleyboy3664]

Awesome, thank you.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

My pleasure!

[@dalamskdnfkdmsns]

Agree you have the best lessons

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks a lot Daniel!

[@zuzatoblerone2017]

I’ve been kitesurfing for 5 years but sort of stuck only to few tricks and even forgot how to jump with a right foot forward. By watching your vids, got motivated to improve, ordered new gear and will start drilling on those tricks! Thanks!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that my videos get you excited to go back out there. Have fun and enjoy!

[@a.lame.username.]

I'm on this! Thank you 🙏

Best of luck!

Really great videos, well-organized, and very easy to understand. Some of the best training videos available thanks

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Great to hear! Have fun out there!

[@test5093]

The transition from talking on the beach to the voice over instruction gets me everytime. Feels like I am suddenly on an airplaine and the captain is adressing the passengers. It's the exact same soothing tone with just a little bit of microphone static. Its so funny. Great videos though in all seriousness. Up there with the kitesurf college tutorials.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

It used to be even worse in my older videos as the lavalier mic sounded very different on my camera vs my computer. Still trying to get those transitions as smooth as possible! Glad you're enjoying the content.

[@vgiansi]

Thank you Steven, we wait for send jump board off and send jump double front roll 🙏🏻🤙🏻🏄🏻‍♂️

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Nice! Those are very fun tricks to try out. Not entirely sure when I'll be able to release those videos though

Actually saw him riding again a couple days back, was a joy to watch!

[@zackherer]

actually well explained

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thank you 🙌

[@jakobbraun6193]

Send jump with a board off for sure. The most stylish trick for me❤

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Love it too!

[@bugaudin]

Thanks so much, Steven, I'll try tomorrow if the wind is enough

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Hope you get some good conditions!

[@pierregoujaud7971]

Thanks for your videos. To do a one foot or board off during a send jump, I guess you use your front hand because you need the back hand to heli loop? this means you grab the board after sending the kite forward ? that gives you little time to complete the trick!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Exactly! You have to grab with the front hand, but as you heli loop with the back hand it does give you quite a bit of time to still put the board on during the heli loop.

[@ruhrkiwiAQ]

[@stevenakkersdijk]

[@mortenhedegaard7562]

Love your videos. Can you make one about riding/jumping when you are overpowered?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks! Best to take a smaller kite so you're not overpowered. You'll be able to jump a lot higher like that. If that's not an option ride slow and make sure you do a good carve.

[@mortenhedegaard7562]

@@stevenakkersdijk Is there something you can do to practice holding more and more power? Or is it just hours on the water that's gonna help with that?

[@ross4260]

Mooi

[@stevenakkersdijk]

🤙

[@kiilnielsen]

Great videos, thanks! Do you have any tip to improve your kite control when rotating because I am afraid to do rotations when I jump above 8m approximately?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Try to steer with your arms and not your shoulders. Sometimes I see people pulling on the bar and dropping one of their shoulders closer to the bar which can initiate a rotation, so try to steer with only the arms. Other than that you'll just have to repeat the jump and try to figure out where the rotation comes from. Good luck 🤙

[@80lives]

Fantastic tutorial as usual Steve. What I always get confused in every heli loop and kiteloop video though, is that it is never clear which hand should we loop with. I never truly understand that. Does it make any difference which hand we loop with?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Glad you enjoy the video. Yes it's very important what hand you use to loop. The kite should always pass 12 on the loop. Eg.: when the kite is left of 12 you use the right hand to loop it past 12. Hope that helps

[@TheSmokingace]

nice ;)

[@JelleKites]

Hi Steven! Thanks for the great tutorial, have been trying these. One problem I’m facing is on eg. left foot forward send jumps, when the kite climbs back up, this causes my body to rotate to the right (clockwise) as I’m coming down which causes a hard sideways crash on landing.. what could be the mistake / issue? Thanks in advance!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

I've seen this before. Try to steer with your arms and don't roll your shoulders forward when you steer. (try to keep the shoulders square. Hope this helps.

[@Vladishit_Putler]

can I please ask as a beginner: why do you ride with the kite so high? (it looks like it's at 11). I saw other tutorials i.e. "get high with Mike" where he teaches to ride with the kie close to the water...

[@stevenakkersdijk]

When you ride with the kite very close to the water it's a very long way up for the kite before it reaches 12. This means you need to hold your carve for longer otherwise the kite will be deeper in the wind window on the take off resulting in a forward jump instead of up. So I always recommend people to keep their kite fairly high before sending it for the jump, makes life a little easier.

[@jimmyjames1411]

Best for me to do this is in lighter winds if I want to get a higher.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

You might be oversteering your kite if this is a steering movement that gives you extra height. Max height should always be reached by the initial jump and steering movement, this forward sent just adds a lot of distance and horizontal displacement.

[@mrmonkeboy]

Could you send me some wind please? And a little time off work.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Wish I could help with that 😅

[@n.erhantanrkulu665]

Amazing instructions, appreciated. But I'm a little bit confused. In the video, at the big movement topic, I see two different send jumps. One is the opposite direction of the jump, the other is the same direction of the jump. At the first jump, send is initiated at 4:25 to the opposite direction. At the latter one, send is initiated at 5:02 to the jump direction in order to accelerate forward. This one is more exciting and as you say it, good for kiteloop practice. But the first one is like a jump transition? How should I differentiate and use them?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

It's the same move filmed from two different angles. On both of them I send the kite forward through the wind window. Maybe the different angle played a trick on your mind?

[@n.erhantanrkulu665]

@@stevenakkersdijk Oh thanks for the tip, you are right. I thought the wind was offshore and the riding directions were different. Now I see, it is the same direction and the wind is kinda sideshore. I am going to watch it again and again, amazing knowledge concentrated in 8 minutes, thanks again Steven!

[@TheSnippyfab]

@Steven great video! 💣💣 Do you pull the heliloop with front or back hand?

[@louistorres]

Fly FARTHER, not further. Further is progression; you can progress further in your career.FARTHER is distance; you can fly farther in high wind versus 5 mph winds.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks for the english lesson, just keep in mind that english is my second language 😉. Will remember this one and changed the title 🤙

[@jurgenkunkel747]

Didn’t know that. 👍🏼
