Boardoff Transition

Advanced
  • Jump
  • Grab
  • Transition
  • Board-off

A boardoff where you hold the board sideways off your feet in the air and land riding the other way. It joins your boardoff and jump transition and asks for clean timing on both.

How to

  1. Jump to 12

    Send the kite to 12 o'clock and take off as for a jump transition, starting in moderate wind over deep water.

  2. Grab and feet out

    At the top, hold the board in the centre with your back hand and slide both feet out of the straps.

  3. Board sideways

    Hold the board out to the side on its edge while the kite stays at 12 above you.

  4. Feet back in

    Bring the board back under you facing the new direction and put your front foot in first, then the back foot.

  5. Fly the kite forward

    Fly the kite forward and down to the new side and touch down heading downwind.

Common mistakes

  • Kite drifting off 12

    Park the kite at 12 while the board is off so you float.

  • Board facing the wrong way

    Turn the board as you bring it back so it points in the new direction.

  • Feet back in late

    Start the boardoff on the way up so your feet are back in before you drop.
