However, you will need
some patience, as it is not easy to learn how to control the kite.
You will make mistakes along the way, but your patience and practice
will pay off.
There are several techniques that will help you to learn how to
control the kite. First of all, you should learn how to control
the kite when you have fallen in water from your board. To do this,
practice by using your kite to drag in water behind it and learn
to control the kite. You should also practice using a harness to
shift the pull from your hands to your body. Next step is to learn
how to start from water and how to control the kite while doing
this.
Normally, you will start by positioning yourself in water on your
back with the board in front of you and the kite floating above
you. After the kit gains power, you will be pulled out of the water
forward on the board. Also learn how to sustain the speed on the
board. This is an important part of learning how to control the
kite. When on the board, maintain the kite in front of yourself
and try to feel the right position to the wind window.
Next, but not last, learn how to control the kite while traveling
upwind and downwind. Both of these techniques are important. Only
once you have learned the basics of how to control the kite you
should continue to the more advanced techniques and tricks. Remember
that you should always be in control, not matter what trick you
are performing.
