    Best duck dive tutorial I've seen. It made a big difference in how deep I was getting today.

    Additional tip: when duck diving big whitewash, you need to anticipate the possibility of your board getting ripped out of your grip and knocking you in the noggin. You squeeze your elbows towards each other a bit so that they can block the board should you lose it.

      Yes! I learned that by splitting my head on a GoPro mount!

    Thank you for your videos ! really useful. One question. what do you think should be the perfect relationship between kilograms of the surfer and litres of the board to do a proper duckdive. Thanks again!

    Very interesting vid. 👍
    I would like to ask you a side question: I am doing Kitesurf within waves and in case of big shore break with a strictly on shore wind, it is very tough to move out of the beach, so the more reliable technique is body drag: I am laying flat on the water with the board between hands and elbows and the wind pulls me upwind, but with a limited angle (as 20/30 deg to the sea)
    Due to so there are very much to travel sideways, and I cross plenty of big waves breaking hard on me, pushing me back to the beach, returning my board or myself…! 😵‍💫
    People told me that the best technique would be to adopt the duck dive technique from the surf but no one was able to explain me the best practices for my particular case🥺
    During the duck dive I will still have one arm up connected to the bar and maintaining the kite high and possibly pulling (at least not falling). My board will come at the duck dive entry point with an edging angle in opposition to the kite and with a 60/70 degree traveling direction to the wave
    Do you thing we must keep those angles when duck diving or try to do as surfer (board flat and facing the wave), when pushing on the noze to dive it?🤓
    😎
    Thank you for your help! 🤗

    For begginners- please-Practice on small waves for a few months to avoid nasty shoulder and bicep injuries- go when surfline says poor for a few months

    Yes lots of saved energy and deep. Sometimes scoot up before cobra so nose dives harder. It is effortless. That can really matter.

    Board going to rebound like barkley if ure not strong.,, surfing exposes every weakness in a human instantaneously

    Weird/random question, should I keep my eyes closed or open when duckdiving? I normally close them as the saltwater irritates my eyes. Though, I feel a lot more orientated and ready to start paddling as soon as I surface from the water if I keep them open. Thoughts?
