Sit on a kiteboard

In case of a crash, you can / must sit on your board to relaunch your Kite.

Well in the center to be able to see far and keep the bar out of the water. It is very convenient so as to not tangle up anything and have everything ready for a proper relaunch.

Then a little towards the back to pitch up the board and brake your leeward drift. So, you put more opposition and therefore more air in your Kite to take off again.

Stabilize yourself with small leg movements. That will also help you to drift less.

And it’s the best way to not lose your Board !!!
