Welcome again to my Kitesurfing instructional videos! On this one I will teach you how to improve your upwind abilities focusing on my top 5 principles.
1. Kite and Board
Choose a light board with less rocker. Delta type Kite such as the Airush lithium are great for riding upwind
2. Posture on riding upwind
It’s important to keep a nice posture for riding upwind, that way we can resist the bar pressure with our whole body and we reduce back pain and tiredness so we can also ride comfortably for many hours without getting tired.
You don’t need a seat harness to achieve this, you can ride with a nice back harness but just remember to keep your back straight and avoid poo stance.
3. Speed
You can’t know the right speed, you just have to feel it depending on the chop, it’s important your board is glued to the water and you try to ride the chop, this will also help reduce pain on your knees. On flat water you can obviously go a lot faster since you don’t have to ride the chop, it’s important to lift your legs when you’re riding the chop.
4. Kite position
It’s super important to have the right kite position when riding upwind.
The perfect kite position is 45 degrees or lower.
5. Board angle
For changing speed and direction it’s not only about our kite. You can also regulate your speed using your board.
