How to feel the power of the kite

There are many different techniques that you will need to learn before you can master the kitesurfing sport. One of these techniques is learning how to feel the power of the kite and learning to control that power. Part of learning how to feel the power of the kite is leaning how to control the estimated surface of the kite and the speed of the kite. You can both use and learn how to feel the power of the kite through the control of the projected surface and thought the control of the speed of the kite. Practice until you are comfortable with both techniques and only then try to kitesurf.

First of all, learn how to feel the power of the kite and control it trough the control of the projected surface of the kite. With the four lines inflatable kite you can reduce the power of the kite by letting the front lines loose and through that adjusting the projected surface. With the four lines foil kite you can reduce the power of the kite by letting the center line loose and through that adjusting the projected surface. In both cases a kitesurfer can fix the kite in place at a


specific projected surface. Spend some time learning these how to feel the power of the kite techniques and practicing them.

The next step in learning how to feel the power of the kite is to learn and practice to control the flying speed of the kite. You should learn both how to decrease and increase the kite’s power. This technique of controlling the flying speed of the kite is easier to learn, as compared to controlling the projected surface, and is considered a somewhat better way how to feel the power of the kite and control that power. Though it is not that easy to reduce the power of the kite through this technique, increasing the power of the kite is very easy. All you have to do is just fly your kit and, depending on the wind position, use different wave patterns. With this method it is much easier to learn how to feel the power of the kite and to actually stay in control.
