    Thanks, good video, but I couldn’t find any videos about wingfoil pump technique in choppy or wavy conditions. I feel like my pumping technique is slowly starting to work in flat water. However, in conditions with waves, it’s much harder. Either the wave comes from the side and disrupts my balance, or it goes under the board and destroys my won height, or it passes me from behind and kills my speed. Are there any techniques for these conditions?

    What's the deal with attaching the leash to the handle?

    • @kitesurfcollege
      @kitesurfcollege 7 дней назад

      Hi Alan. I prefer it for a few a reasons. I use a fairly short wing leash, and the attachment on the handle allows a little movement. Also, if I drop the wing while foiling (perhaps foiling a wave and passing the wing behind my back) then pulling in the leash leads to the handle (without even looking). Also, I've heard you can rip off the little loops made for the wing leash.

    • @AlanAllegret
      @AlanAllegret 7 дней назад

      @@kitesurfcollege those are pretty good points (maybe not the last one, given the loops are designed for that purpose, while the handles aren't). And to add one more, I imagine it's also easier/faster to attach the leash there than the tiny loop. Interesting. Thanks!

    Is there any way to change the trim to make sure the kite will frontstall less often? E.g. change attachment points further back/further in front? How does changing that change the frontstall behaviour?

    • @kitesurfcollege
      @kitesurfcollege 13 дней назад

      I think it's mainly the kite's aspect ratio and weight/weight distribution that have a big effect on how well a kite handles front stalls. Altering the bridle attachment point can make a small difference but I'd say you're generally best of with the default set up.

      @simpleman5494 12 дней назад

      @@kitesurfcollege Thanks. That's one of the issues that we have with inland waters like lakes etc.. Especially if it blows offshore... then gusts are often so unpredictable, that even if there is more than enough wind for kitesurfing, the conditions might be "unkiteable". I had this problem a week ago in my lake area, that the wind was blowing strong but a little gusty and offshore. The result was that my kite got Wind from below, flew over me, and shortly after it got "downdraft" and the next gust blew from the top onto the canopy... In some other Video I heard that I could have tried to power it aggressively and therefore force it to backstall... But that would have meant that I was about to get pulled hard very soon... Maybe an aluula dyneema fronttube kite might help a little to solve the issue.. but that of course will hurt my wallet a lot...

    • @kitesurfcollege
      @kitesurfcollege 11 дней назад

      Hi, it's quite rare for lakes to be kiteable. You really want your wind to have reached you approaching over a huge region of flat surface (i.e. water). You probably know this already but this video looks at what makes kiteable wind:

      There are some lakes that work around the world, for example near here is Brandvlei where in a NW wind approaches the lake from very flat farmland. It's still fairly gusty, but with some experienced it's fine to ride on. Wind approaching from desert can also be okay. Wind approaching from bush, scrub, trees, buildings or hills is usually horrendous for kiting.

    One key thats left out but you can see it is when steering the kite to 12 you need to sheet out on the bar all the way to prevent being pulled off your edge and letting the kite speed up. I had to learn that part myself, i could figure out why i was getting ripped down wind as soon as I tried to jump and why the kite was slow to get to 12. Sheeting out on the bar as you send it to 12 is a very important part that thyere assuming you know.

    I had 2 situations to report: on a lake with on and off gusty wind, my kite dropped on the water during a 0 wind while, the lines became slacked, the kite galled turning upside down on itself so the lines were not in normal position and the slack lines turned around my board pads. Then the wind picked up suddenly…and the loop started, one line being pulled by my board. so it was unclear what to do. I then released the CL…. Another situation is on a more stable side wind, around 20kts, I realized that my wife, quite beginner, was loosing to much ground from the starting beach. I suggested her to come back to the beach in bodydrag, and I did followed her on this manœuvre. Suddenly she turned her kite to mine, probably asking a question and both kites started to turn together. I immediately released my CL , and asked her to do the same, but kites started to loop with lines possibly turning around her body. I had not other chance to release totally my kite, then ask her to do the same. Both started kite far dancing together, then moving individually. One stopped on the beach and the other one on a dead tree, and was very damaged. I now realize that both bars were old models, without one sliding line but both attached together. This is possibly why first CL release didn’t clearly worked. I will ban this bar for the future.

    Another great video - I recommend this channel to anyone I give lessons to. Interesting the clip with self / drift launching - the only times I've experienced death loops have been drift launching where a steering line wrapped around the wingtip. Counter steering sorted a couple, and CR release another time. When the dunes are fast approaching, time to eject!!

    • @kitesurfcollege
      @kitesurfcollege 25 дней назад

      Hi Wayne, I mainly use rebels and they have a bridle large enough that the bridle can catch on the wingtip during a drift launch. I know to watch for it now (you can tell if the bridle has caught on the wingtip from the kite's slightly distorted shape) and if it has I usually give a few pumps on the center lines (pulling in and out so the center lines slack and tense a few times) and then the bridle pops off.
