Why The Waterstart Is Not Your Real Problem

In todays episode we look at the factors that normally go unconsidered but in my experience are more important in determining whether this session will be the one where you finally crack the waterstart and get riding.

Including:

  • The hidden factors that go into determining whether you’ll ever actually ride
  • The things you should be working on before you even think about attempting the waterstart
  • How to make your waterstarting practice exponentially easier

And much more.

Waterstarting on your weaker side

Everybody has a stronger and a weaker side in kitesurfing.

Whether you are regular or goofy, waterstarting the “other” way often feels awkward and is much more difficult to master. This is especially true if you come from a boarding background where you don’t have to ride on both tacks…ie snowboarding, surfing etc.

In todays episode we look at how to waterstart effectively on your weaker side.

We look at the common mistakes we see people making and how to easily fix them.

which explains in detail a lot of the concepts mentioned in this episode.
