The next step would be, how to lift the Kite of kitesurf The most important thing is always to climb the kite with an assistant, then find the right angle to lift the kite, do not get too far to leeward (bottom of the wind window), start with too much power. Neither too much to windward (limit of the wind window), it will fly a little, it will fall backwards and it can turn on itself; could be put in full power with the corresponding risk. Before continuing, this post is only an orientation, put yourself in qualified hands if your goal is to learn kitesurf correctly and without risks, it is vital to do a kitesurf course. Once we have the kite well placed, our assistant will hold the kite at the edge of the window, we tighten the lines to the wind gently, and check that they are fixed correctly to the kite. Now we are a little windward until the kite stops flaming, we make the signal for our assistant to release the kite, just release it and never push it. Once with the kite in the air and learned its basic management, it is best to go to the water as soon as possible and practice bodydrag, which is nothing more than moving through the water if using the board kite strength. Next in next step will be: How to make Water Start in Kitesurf Before thinking about how to do water start in Kitesurfing it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the kite and the way it behaves in the wind window. If you are in this situation it is time to go to the water with your board and start with the Waterstart. The Water Start translated into Spanish is output from the water and is the maneuver that consists of standing on the board. This maneuver will allow us to start enjoying the glide and navigation. To enter the water, you must grip the board with one hand, putting it in position so that it does not resist the wind, and the other hand place it in a central area of ??the bar, tilting the kite slightly so that it does not resist. Once we are in the water, we must place ourselves with the wind reaching our backs and keep the kite at 12 o'clock or zenith, at this moment the kite is in the neutral zone and does not produce jerks. It is time to put the table. We put our board in a position in the water similar to that of sitting. With one hand we are holding the board and with another hand (located in the center of our bar) we will keep the kite in the zenith (12:00). At this moment we flex our legs so that the board is close enough to our body. Then it's time to try it, for it moves the kite to get strength, if for example we will go to our right, moves the kite from 11:00 to 03:00 and simultaneously advances the right leg. The moment we feel the pull of the kite, we will extend our front leg and slightly flex the back one. At the beginning we must maintain the course to the long to get speed, that is, keep the board in the direction of the wind until we carry a certain speed. Once we have enough power and speed we will go, little by little, nailing the edge of the board in the water. Doing some pressure with your heels can help. In this way we will be able to change our course, to go long, to go through and then the tight, which will be the final goal to maintain our position on the beach and not give us great walks along the shore. Depending on the force of the wind, you will need to go up and down the kite from 1 hour to 2 or 2:30 hours to gain traction with the kite. If it is wind it is good for your weight and kite will not always be necessary to do it. The abruptness of this movement will depend on the wind and the traction you feel. But as we always remember, this article on how to do water start in Kitesurf and others of the style are only indicative, what you should do is go to a store, let yourself be guided by a professional, take an initiation course to kitesurfing and especially if you are starting Always do it with the support of a professional. Common mistake when starting with the water star. When we stand on the board to start the march. We must have the knees properly bent and the board should be placed perpendicular to the wind direction.
