Boardoff

Advanced
  • Jump
  • Grab
  • Board-off

A jump where you take both feet out of the straps and move the board away from you, holding it in one hand, then put your feet back in to land. An advanced board handling trick.

How to

  1. Jump high and steady

    Take off with the kite at 12 o'clock and good height, with straps a little loose, starting in moderate wind over deep water.

  2. Grab the handle

    Tuck your knees and grab the handle firmly with your back hand.

  3. Feet out

    Lift the board high in front of you and slide both feet out of the straps.

  4. Hold it to the side

    Hold the board out to the side, then bring it back flat under your feet.

  5. Feet back in to land

    Get your front foot in first, then the back foot, and dive the kite to land heading downwind.

Common mistakes

  • Losing the board

    Grab the handle firmly before you take your feet out.

  • Starting too late

    Start the boardoff on the way up so you have time to get back in.

  • Pulled to one side

    Keep the kite around 12 o'clock, not too far forward, so it does not drag you sideways.
