Fantastic! There are many people change to surfkite, and they don't know to ride toeside with the twintip firts

I
I enjoyed this tutorial.. Could you show another one where you switch back to heel side?

Thanks,

Great! Thanks for another great tutorial! I somehow have the impression that short after having switched to toeside, I’m pushing the kite to the edge of the window because I’m not twisting my body enough. But after having watched your tutorial I think that definitely not edging enough is a major reason that I’m loosing pressure in the kite. Somehow I’m compensating that by flying the kite up and down, but that still often results in sinking after few meters

Hey guys. Great video.
? Is it easier with a waist harness than a seat harness. I noticed that the waist harness twists a lot when you change to toeside

GREAT, exactly what I'm learning, Thank you as always! 🔝🔝🔝

I learned toeside through a carving heel to toeside, much easier than popping or sliding board around

Yeah, very great explained, thanks.
Now its practise time! (=crash time!) :P

Is it just on my phone like that or the subtitles just cover up the most important part of the screen??? I can't see the board, super annoying....

I learnt how to kite surf with no lesson jump with no lesson ride to side with no lesson all from your videos

Great tutorial (as always). But then what ? As a follow up tutorial, I would love to get some tips on (stylishly) switching back to heel side, in particular popping from toeside to heelside. For example, this move is needed after a heelside to toeside carving transition.
