LEARNING TO FLY

15 METER JUMPS ARE EASIER THAN YOU THINK !

BUT PROBABLY YOU SEE YOURSELF AND OTHERS STRUGGLING TO GET A HIGH SMOOTH JUMP.

It's because they are trying to learn THE JUMP itself from the beginning.

STEP ONE. Dont' try to jump. Build a FOUNDATION first. Manage the POWER.

STEP TWO. Master advanced techniques to work with the kite.

STEP THREE. Complete your skills by mastering stable flight and landing.

To put it all together, I've created my own METHOD of teaching to jump.

It's mission is to make you UNLEARN wrong weak stance and stop thinking that "go fast-yank the bar-pop-that's it" is all you need to jump.

HOW TO REACH 10+ METER HEIGHT FASTER

If you've got stuck at about 4-5 meters and progress too slow DON'T try to "push-off" harder or yank the bar like hell. Get back to mastering your stance, creating more power in the lines, resisting that power with the board. If your jump is low, while the wind is enough, try to do the same jump from sharper course, as sharp upwind as possible an see what happens. Add back leg push to your jump sequence ONLY if your are sure, that it doesn't drive you out of balance. If you are bouncing on the tail of the board, while doing a push, get back and look for ways to shift your weight to the nose of the board.
