How to Moon Slide // Kiteboarding SA Masterclass

[@marcthibodeau]

Thanks Steven for sharing these tricks, the moon slide is definitely something new to me!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Hope you get to try it soon!

[@fabianmoser6018]

Those step by step exercises helped me a lot learning this trick!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Oh yes, we'll see those steps next week 😇

[@brianr8812]

You rule, Steven! Thank you!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

My pleasure!

[@MrSpanishPeanuts]

Awesome! Thanks. Can't wait to try it.

[@stevenakkersdijk]

You'll love it!

[@lennyjamz4389]

The steez factor is off the charts with this trick. I might actually need to learn the dark side this year ha

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Oh yes you should! The darkslide on it's own is already a great trick to learn

[@sternokrat]

Watched it a 100 times now I’m ready to give it a go 😅

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's where the spike in views came from 😜 Give it a try on the water and then watch it a 100 times more 😇 Good luck and have fun with it!

[@sternokrat]

Gave it a try, almost nailed it but now I’m confused with the edge 😅 So another 100 here we go! Thx for the tutorial!!

[@t.cichomski1782]

I would love to learn board off while jumping ...cannot overcome this fear somehow... so I vote for this one next :)

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's a great goal. Check out this video I made a while back, it might help you with the board off steps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqThXqfmc-kmZo

[@markm04021979]

Thanks Steven! Another trick to practice!!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Excellent! Enjoy

[@rainerganss]

Can´t wait to crash trying this ;-)

[@stevenakkersdijk]

😂 Just learn from your crashes so it doesn't hurt too much

[@marcint8859]

Going to try !!!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Please do!

[@KITEFORUMcom]

Really nice! Shared!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Awesome thank you!

[@IpadSevall]

Nice one, and great style !

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks a lot!

[@chasethestoke]

Let’s see a moon slide with an extra back roll after…? I’ve been working on this one and so fun!!!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That’s a cool idea! I’ll try and add it to my next session!

[@ramonyoutube42]

Perfect! It's on the list 🤩

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Have fun!

[@MatDGVLL]

Looks awesome !

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks!

[@clement6494]

Super nice video!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@johnnycage4598]

Nice Video as always! Next send jump Double frontroll one footer with back Hand heli Loop? 🙏😄

[@stevenakkersdijk]

That's quite the trick you have planned there 😉 Don't think I'll release a tutorial for that any time soon, but I'm sure you can figure out a couple of steps to safely try it 😉

[@corpuskiter]

Seems like a backroll hand drag but just adding dragging the board, or swapping hand drag for board drag, no? 🤔🤙

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Kind of, but the take off is quite different somehow. I was able to do a backroll hand drag but still struggled a lot with the rotation when I first tried this trick.

[@ytluckynuts]

Awesome. Need to try that. And great explanation! Where is this spot? Looks so nice there!

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Best of luck and enjoy! This is Witsand breede rivier in South Africa

[@t.cichomski1782]

Nice one bro

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Thanks !

[@PebbleTheDawg]

Whenever trying this some people like fly/float im gonna ask does it feel like having powers or just pulling yourself in the air?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Feels like you're on the moon and all of the sudden gravity is turned down 😉

[@dr.med.sabineegger]

I am dark sliding into backroll without any Loop. Can I do that with the moon slide too?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Yes you can! it's not needed to loop in order to try and do the moonslide, you'll only need the loop to ride out of it.

[@yessicavidal7315]

Se ve genial

[@stevenakkersdijk]

Glad you like it!

[@Simple-stuffz]

Hey does anyone know the kiting location?

[@stevenakkersdijk]

It's witsand, breede rivier in South Africa

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

What kind of earphones are you using??!!!!!

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

I mean when kitesurfing!!! Thanks

[@stevenakkersdijk]

The earplugs from iars I'm using are actually for protection rather than music as they help to prevent surfers ear. For music I often use the Shokz Openswim bone conduction headphones as they work perfectly with the earplugs.

[@Sebastian-ow7xx]

@@stevenakkersdijk Thank you so much for the replay and tutorial
