That last little lesson about launching with one hand on the eject is such a good one. It should be IKO / Bksa standard practice. It would have saved a mate of mine 3 broken ribs, punctured lung, concussion and two broken tibias. Yep, there was a great big signpost on the beach. Thankfully he had a helmet on or he'd no longer be with us. Despite the helmet, he couldn't tell me his date of birth for 48 hrs. Nobody can locate their chicken loop eject while flying horizontally over the beach at 25knots - unless their hand is already on it 👍

Thanks. I have kited for 18 years and keep pulling good information from your videos. Wish they were around when i started! Kiting is a sport that you can never take for granted, no matter how many hours you have on the water. You can always learn something that will make you better and might even save you. Well done.

Great and important tips! I believe when kiting frequently and at different kite spots you will experience this in one or the other way yourself or with others…I agree that many kiters had not enough lessons or maybe not good quality of lessons. On the other side, all kite spots have their specialties to deal with and many people tend to be overwhelmed with such unknown conditions.

Check your kite lines obsessively before launch, hand on quick release, never be scared to let go of the bar, never be scared to pull the chicken loop, if you ever get into a death loop get rid of the kite if you can't because the line or bar is around your harness pick a steering line and start pulling on it keep pulling on the line like your life depends on it till the kite stalls it will stall

I am having a hard time understanding why safety equipment (helmet and impact/flotation vest) is not worn by kitersurfers! My background is hang gliding where we are only near the ground a couple of times each flight, helmets and parachutes are mandatory. Shouldn't use of safety gear be promoted by schools, instructors and mentors?
@KristanDL3 жыл бұрын
The last clip is from Mezhvodnoe, Crimea, which is basically one big kiteschool, sometimes with quite questionable kite instructors. Some kiteschools are so sketchy and desperate they are recruiting inexperienced kiters to work as instructors. So the girl in that clip might be the victim of one of them.

There is no such thing as line stretch, only shrink and center lines simply shrink less, sorry, pet peeve. Also going to suggest NOT releasing the loop when in a line wrap deathloop even for intermediate kiters. Assuming no immediate obstacles it tends to be safer to reach for the far steering line and pull that in to backstall since the result is guaranteed regardless of what is causing the loop.

So in 2nd case where qr safety system didn't work what the kiter should have done? Release leash immediately? I know that some people recommend to pull steering line then but what is your opinion on that? What could have been done better here? It looks like a serious design problem that qr may not work as expected I wonder if it happens often? :)

The single most important thing you can do to avoid accidents and you don't go over it. You don't go over it in part one. You don't go over it here so I assume you guys don't know that the single most important factor in avoiding accidents is muscle memory. Every kiter must practice using the qr. Doesn't matter how skilled you are. I've lost count of the "experts" that explain smugly how safe they are because they haven't used the qr in a decade not even to practice. The brain doesn't decide to use the qr. Muscle memory does it. And the only way to get it is practice. One hand on the qr does nothing if you don't practice using it. On average people take 8 seconds to use their qr. That's the single most important difference between laughing it off and a trip with flashing lights. I'm never surprised that experts don't tell you how important it is to practice the qr. They got all this other stuff to talk about.
@sebas06084593 жыл бұрын
good point, but how and under which conditions do you suggest to practice this? usually when landing the kite i pull the QR, you think this should be enough to build muscle memory?
@bonerici3 жыл бұрын
@@sebas0608459 once a week. Doesn't matter how you do it. Those who don't use traditional chicken loops and use the qr to attach and detach their control bars get plenty of practice
