HOW TO : débuter en kite !!!

L’Ours resume for us essential steps to begin in kite. 1) Take classes it is necessary to you? Yes, indispensable. Learn alone is risky for oneself and for others. A kite develops enormous traction, its lines intersect, the kite flight speed makes it a dangerous projectile etc … Required courses in a serious school. 2) What gear choice for a beginner (size of the kite, type of board …) and what kind of privileged spot be it for the first sessions? According to the spots, the kite size will vary from 9m to 12m for a man. 7m 10m for a woman. Taking too little is a classic mistake. The rider will then search the strongest conditions and take risks. Biggerr kite will be exploitable in moderate wind and therefore in the wisest conditions. Consequently, it will as soon as possible to have two or three kites, never taking risks by using a wing outside its reasonable usage range.
According to the desires of each one can begin in TT or surfboard. Both are quite possible.
But note that starting with new surfboards as Matata greatly facilitates the first steps. Indeed, the board carries more than TT and so will erase the errors and enable progress, to start, accelerate …
She will notch naturally without forcing on the heels, and she is going to head. While on a TT beginner will tend to ricochet off the water but failed to bite the rail.
Finally, this type of board with volume also helps to press it if galley, or even just go train. The only interest of the TT is not to have to jibe. But in the beginning, there is no question of jibe: we stop and start again in the other direction. 3) In what types of conditions it must start at the beginning? In the light medium wind. It’s less funny than in the strong wind, but it is better for two reasons: – It’s less dangerous, things happen more slowly, we see the next error, the danger is more enjoyable. – The work of the kite must be more precise. The light wind is demanding. It can be frustrating, but it is the best school. That’s when we discovered the secrets of a good pilot. 4) What important safety rules must comply to ride it safely? Do not ride alone. Double check the mounting of the kite. Take permanently safety margins on all subjects. Do not overestimate. Seek advice from others. Never get help from a non-kiter. Keeping the kite of its operating range. Learn that when you kitesurfing everything is an obstacle thus a danger, including what is 300m. Help others without risking further accidents. Have a nice attitude, lowering his kite to let those who ride, it is perceived and it helps to help out then. Advisor : Patrice Guénolé et GONG Surfboards.
