5 easy tricks every kitesurfer should know!

Welcome to another kitesurfing tutorial! In this video I will show you the first 5 kite tricks that every beginner kitesurfer should learn! They are one of the easiest kite tricks but can also be taken to the next level as I will show you in this video, so please stick around until the end and let me know what you think in the comments!
The 5 kiteboarding tricks are:
1. Grabs
Grabs are probably the easiest air tricks you can do kiteboarding, but what is harder is to make them look good. You can start with the simplest of grabs like a nose or tail grab, and then progress to harder ones.
2. Pop to toeside or blind
This trick is very useful as it should be the first rotation we should learn, so we only have to do a very small pop, that looks more like an ollie. If we do a normal pop, our body will get push forward quite a bit more and we’ll be forced to do a raley.
3. Back roll
The back roll is one of the most popular tricks in kitesurfing, you can do it with many other variations, so it’s important to get this basic trick dialed before we move into some more advanced stuff. It’s the base of many tricks whether you like to do wakestyle or old school.
4. Front roll
For the front roll and for all airtricks, the start of the trick is the same, we get tension on our lines to get a good pop, but when we lift off from the water, instead of continuing the same pop rotation, we have to spin the other way.
5. Downloop transition
A downloop transition is a very easy trick but it’s a great introduction to the kiteloop trick family, something every kiter wants to learn at some point. Starting with a downloop to turn around is not only the safest way to start with the loops, it will bring a new way to turn around without losing any speed and we will create some extra power that will allow us to throw some spray. Downloops are also very useful if we want to perform them while wave riding so we can get some extra speed to catch up on the wave.
