Water Start Learning Steps

So many people have tried water start if different ways...lets say the best steps

First prerequisites

1. Upwind body dragging
2. On hand kite control
3. power stroke body dragging

Now that you covered the above try below steps

1. Knee deep water keep kite stationary- short figure 8 -with the board on feet
2. Knee deep water power stroke from 12 and and feel the pull on harness - if you feel the pull on arms something is wrong
3. power stroke from 1 or 11 and let you pulled on to the board and then take kite to 12 and land on your back. ensure bar is not pulled. Keep knees bent. Do both side
4. Once step 3 is mastered you have a good idea of how much power is needed to get you on the board
5. Now do step 3 while positioning the board down wind and extending your front leg
6. now instead of getting the kite to 12 sin the kite or get the kite down. Get the kite quicker if you loos momentum

Tips

• Point the board down wind
• Point the front feet at the kite
• Don't pull the bar
• Point slightly upwind if the lines get slack - meaning getting too close to the kite

If you fail in either of the steps go back and practice the earlier step
