Strapless unhooked: Save training method for kids.
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:14 pm
Hi there, i am new on this forum and wanted to share this with you all..
Of course you want to give your kids the opportunity to learn how to kitesurf. And of course you want to keep them as save as you can... My kids are out on the streets on their waveboard all the time. I decided to give them an old bar and a Nasa Chute to play with. Gave them the instruction to sent the kite up (or reverse) to brake and drop the bar in case of panic.. This is the result of the first! session. Fun happy faces, and the girls even self invented sinusing the kites...

We use no lines or just short lines because of the streetlights etc.. but also for self relaunch convenience. I am sure that this practice will be of great use when starting on the water. Hope that this suggestion is of any use to you kiting fathers and mothers.. and your kids

Edit... Hmm... Youtube embed doesnt seem to work...
