The sport of kitesurfing consists of two major dimensions, 1) kite = precision bar control &2) board = body, board, balance. Precision bar control In itself kitesurfing is based on a 3 dimensional wind window which is dissimilar to windsurfing or sailing being a 2 dimensional wind plane. Yes, as you read correctly, that give sat least 5 dimensions to the sport we all love so much. On top of that at each skill level throughout your progression levels to learn kite & bar control, as likewise board start positioning consisting of body, board, balance has its own unique multidimensional cognitive and physical attributes that needs to be learned. What we are going to micro analyse and precision detail here is,101 A & B board start position, 102 front & back leg positioning 103 body board balance for first rides 104 hip weight distribution and riding upwind. In which all of the above as like wise much more needs to combine together with precision execution in that millisecond that you turn the kite into the power zone, otherwise it becomes superman/woman time. Super woman time Board start position is quite simple in theory, albeit more challenging once strapped to a human size kite and trying to balance yourself buoyant on the water hence thus forth sitting back and ready to send the kite into the power zone. Once you have mastered your board start position and technique, as likewise first rides the bell curve starts to go very quickly from here.As you will then have time on the water to grasp the feel for kitesurfing as ultimately riding upwind and independently. This is where the fun really begins. Level 101-A Board Start Position Park the kite at 12 O’clock! Board parallel to the leading edge of the kite at 12.
