      🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    On point! The even more advanced technique to get longer slides is to the rock the kite back and forth slightly between 11 and 1 to keep the lift going.

    @ivovankasteel6158 2 роки тому

    Legend!
    Awseome tips!!! One more question, once your're edging and start the roll. How powered should the bar be? When I look at videos of you & janek it looks like you're "half" powered during the slide and pull the bar at the end to create pull for landing.
    So in my eyes full powered (edge), semi powered (roll + slide) full pull to get dragged out the water.
    Thanks again for all the great content!! Helping a lot.
