That is great content ! Could you continue with the timing of the jump : - when to send the kite and pop (at the same time, one before the other....) - when to pop : when the kite is at 12, a little bit before or after - when to pull the bar : when you leave the water or before - the position of the kite : right at 12 above your head or a little bit in front of you (in the wind windows). Thanks a lot and keep going with your great work!!!
@@Baptiste_L all my questions in this comment. My takeoffs are okay, I was able to get sent to 7-8 meters with my 9 on the famous 30 kts winds of Maui (yes I felt overpowered lol) however I had to jump with a kicker wave, I think I need to carve upwind more. However when overpowered the kite pulls so much is hard so sit lower in the harness rly quickly
@@gillesbkf4315 So you just explained the most common mistake. I jump around the same height on my 7 in 20 knots! Learning how to get that peak power with progressive edging and bar sheeting out, and creating that power instead just pulling the bar is key. a lot on my mind. more videos are coming!
I was about to comment that "the best pop tutorial ever" but then noticed there are so many of those comments already thait desiced only to comment this is "Epic tutorial for beginners and also for advanced riders." Been a subscriber of your channel for a long time and you are in my Top 3 channels I actually wait to see publish new content. Also mad props for keeping the content in kitesurfing, and not mixing it with winging or pump foiling...
Basketball analogy is spot on! I'm surprised no one has brought it up earlier :P Still, I think the best take away is that it's worth to have someone watch you riding once a while to prevent aggregating bad habits, that ultimately lead to lost time and motivation when trying to learn something more advanced.
Such a good summary. I will save it for later :) Thanks for the input! Yeah, I showed this to one of my recent clients, and he said that the in-person lesson helped him way more. This tutorial leads you, but if you already have some habits to overcome, you need personalization. We are all different!
Zolty I tried what you explained but still not working for me. Can i send a video of my effort so you can take a look at it. And I’m willing to pay for you One on One advice (also for my further progression). What do you think?
Hey I am unclear about a couple of parts. When you say go upwind just before coming up. Do you mean my shoulders should point upwind just before coming up. And when you do the hop, you mean to extend your back legs and push off, do you also retract your front leg?
Lets see if you can answer your questions just by answering these- As you come up from the active riding and your legs gets under you, correct - you push off with the back leg- is this going to move the board upwind itself? how is the front leg at that point? The tumbnail is the moment we talk about so all this is visible there in the moment. Now give me those answers!
I started kiting only 5 months ago and this is my main issue now to be able to progress further with jumps. Can you explain what you do with the other leg? Are you pushing or pulling with it? How about poping in chopping water when it's so hard to hold the edge?
I can but probably with all the possible variations that you doing it will be as long as an essay… what about you send me a video of your pop and i tell what to do with it?
@@warrenstrutt feb march- costa rica this is a smaller one for maxing out kite focus. one in egypt around April, more laid back and party, whole summer on lake como, and then november in brazil 🇧🇷
@@freddydad1 i see. interesting as foiling is much more skillfull. I think the active passive video can convert anyone in a session to active rider. Thats not related to strength, it is a skill. For example tiny kids do ride actively straight away cos if they being pulled by the kite, they just lose line tension, so sort of they have to do this otherwise no success!
Best tutorial on pop in ages!!!!
Appreciate it 🙌

Epic Tips bro!
Yeah, pop is everything! 😎
Keen to kite now!
nice!
Thanks!
Plenty of Geoffs out there, though a lot of them are switching to foils😊
@@freddydad1 not sure i am getting what you saying 🙃 can you clarify?
@EpicGust only that I see a lot of people that struggle to kite actively on a twin tip, a lot of these have moved to foils in my area.
@@freddydad1 i see. interesting as foiling is much more skillfull. I think the active passive video can convert anyone in a session to active rider. Thats not related to strength, it is a skill.
