Beach Kiteboarding

Beach Rig and Launch

Make friends on the beach while keep a positive vibe.

1. Find a safe place to play.

2. Get familiar with the gear, and terminology of the kite.

3. Start a system that works for your gear set up

4. If you can, go up wind for added safety boundary. If you have the privilege of practicing in an area without distractions, use it!

5. When moving the kite, let it trail behind you in an upside down fashion. If the kite can not be supported by the wind, this is a strong indicator that there in not enough wind to practice.

6. This is looking like we have the whole beach to our selves. Perfect, there is no one to get tangled in.

7. When placing the kite down, don't get it cut or tangled in obstacles. If you can set up the lines up or down wind of the kite, I like to go up wind. Find out what works for you.
