kitesurf how to jump 

Thanks, will have a new version of this one soon.

+Steven Serin Thanks

+Capt Eric “WeBeYachting” Bergeron thanks very much.

+First Aparamythist Thanks. Bar position is very important so I thought I'd make it clearer.

Thanks Bear. Although this is quite an old video I have replaced with this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-im7xZ7jgyRw.html

+ABE SuperKiteDay Cheers, love your snow kite videos. I've tried snow kiting a few times but looks like you guys have a great spot.

Thanks Robert. I have an updated version of this video, with a bit more information and new footage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-im7xZ7jgyRw.html

Thanks Jon, I'll have a new version of this out in a couple of weeks.

+ayuyowert Excellent question. Yes, it is very important to have an upwind edge while jumping. If you get pulled downwind before take off you will do a long low jump. One way to avoid getting pulled downwind is to raise the kite to 12 with your arms out, and only pull in the bar at 12 to jump. At first I would say it is easier to just keep your normal upwind edge for take off - but you can also, as you mentioned, try to edge upwind super strongly just before take off for extra height - I cover this more in the pop video.

Thanks. Where is the spot on the video? Looks like a nice location

A little of both. I'd suggest you practice the pop on its own. Ride around with the kite at 45 (that's 1030 or 130). Get some speed, carve hard upwind and jump pressing a little more on the back foot.

+Odeliska76 Hey. That is Long bay, part of the caicos bank in Turks and Caicos. It's an enormous, shallow, sand-bottom area so it's great for kite lessons.

Hi Badar, this is probably due to your kite movement. While you're in the air, the kite stays near 12. Just before you land (about 1m from the water) you need to dive your kite firmly to make sure you can carry on riding when you land. I guess you are not diving your kite when you land, or maybe not firmly enough.

Hello and thankyou. This is the old version, here's the new one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-im7xZ7jgyRw.html

+Nicolas Moussios The first part is Turks and Caicos. The second part is Langebaan, South Africa.
