HOW TO : WATER START IN KITEFOIL !!!

Here is some sound advice for a water start on your Kite Foil

 

Step 1

Position the Kite in the zenith to facilitate putting your feet in the foot straps of the Board. Send the Kite in to 2 or 10 O’clock as you would for a classic water start.

Step 2

As you send the Kite, put some light pressure on the Bar, this will help you lift yourself up.

Step 3

Push on the Board while keeping crouched.

Step 4

Your body weight should be over the front foot to facilitate the take off and for keeping the Board solidly on the water.

Step 5

Once up, let your Board pick up some speed, heading slightly downwind and by subtly jockeying the Kite towards 1 or 11 O’clock.

Step 6

With speed the Foil will rise by himself. If not push slightly on the back foot to bring him up.

Step 7

There you go, you’re flying. Now all you got to do is weave the spot. Foiler : Marine, webmaster assistant at GONG, and her GONG Foilboard Catch 3CS and GONG Kitefoil Allvator Freeride.
