Jumping Higher, Kiteboard Tutorial (inc: landing, heli loops, launching, conditions & safety)

This detailed tutorial guides you through the process of learning to boost higher. It is designed for kiters are landing small jumps consistently. It covers:
00:00 landing technique needs to be mastered before jumping higher.
04:50 how to launch a higher jump inc. holding an edge at increased speeds.
06:59 walk through of a 10m+ jump in medium wind.
08:41 how wind strength & water conditions affect jump height and risk level.

**NOTE**As you boost higher you are definitely at increased risk. These risks can be mitigated with lots of light-wind practice, and by maintaining your equipment in top condition.

Filmed using a rebel, which is flatter kite (not a C kite), as this improves glide and softens landings:

I watched a lot of tutorial videos on Kitesurfing and hands down yours are just the absolute best! Your calm voice and the way you carefully explain everything is great. Camerawork and editing (like showing the bar movement) and the general structure of every video is awesome too. You are a really good teacher - thank you so much!

One of the most userful kite tutorials i've ever seen. Thanks!!!!

[MrPidiguiri]

Beautifully clear explanation!!! I’ve been trying to figure it out by my own, hopefully I’ve found this one 😅. Big thank you

[Fozzymonk]

Thank you for such a simple, detailed and informative video on how to jump higher. I cannot seem to get over 9m but I know exactly, at last, what I've been doing wrong. I've watched numerous videos but none of them, in my opinion, were as clear and to the point. Excellent Advice.

Excellent video! Thanks a lot for finally making that jumping higher video real! Great & very helpful tips and explanations - looking forward to try it in my next sessions hopefully soon🏄🏽‍♂️🛸

[RalphMelis]

really nice tutorial. I've been jumping higher but my landings are definitely not smooth yet. I've been trying to look up the heliloops and after watching I am definitely trying it next session, as long as the wind is not too strong obviously. last sessions was like 22-30 with 9m so didn't want to risk it

😎👍 outstanding. Added to Top Kiteboarding Tutorials.
I had to learn this stuff by myself. Great to see someone taking about Heli loops. My favourite landing procedure 🙃

At the moment of edging the board, just after sending the kite to 12 for the jump, simultaneously bring your bar all the way out. this will help getting a good edge and also give you a good pull range to take off, great vid Alex!

Simply the best video explanation. Minimum, pertinent, commentary. Great supporting graphics.
