You can learn the basics of controlling your land board by simply standing on it and using it as a skateboard. This will help you figure out which foot is your front or riding foot. |
|
Try doing runs on your board down slopes to get used to the speed and how sensitive the boards' suspensions are. As well as how to control the motion by shifting your weight. |
|
Once you are comfortable with the board you are now ready to try it together with your kite. |
|
Set up your kite, launch it and get it into the neutral position. Put both feet into the board straps keep the board aimed across the face of the wind, then very slowly dip the kite into the power zone. |
|
Keep the kite high at first as too much power will just pop you off the board. |
|
Keep your knees bent and lean back against the pull of the kite. Keep the kite in a tight figure of 8 pattern to keep the pull continuous. |
|
Keeping the kite low and in the power zone will generate a lot of traction and you will get to incredible speeds. To slow down use the same principles as for buggying i.e. allow the back to skid out at the same time bringing the kite overhead. |
