This is not the process I follow. Seems a bit too risky. I always connect up the lines double and triple check to make sure they're in the right position then wrap up on the bar until 1 1/2 length of kite from leading edge to trailing. Then hold on to leading edge and especially if I need to swim connect my safety leash to the leading edge of the kite. While I'm walking out I'll unravel the lines from the bar while still connected to the kite. Very important here that you make sure your lines don't get caught on the kite and bundle up as you're letting them out. Then I switch my safety leash to the depower of the kite while holding onto the middle leading edge. Finally, to release the kite I hold onto whichever outside line for the direction I want the kite to drift. I let it drift halfway the length of the lines then let go of the lines completely and grab the bar while it drifts the rest of the way to the end of the lines. I would never recommend keeping the lines on the bar while powering up. A gust of wind pops up and that isn't going to be a fun ride. Plus you won't be able to activate depower. With the lines off the bar I'm anticipating if I need to activate saftey line and fully depower to do a recovery. That close to the shore you want as fast as possible access to the depower once you release the kite to the wind.

😀😀😀😀😀 Thank you

look forward to this trip every year, thanks Elite!

Awesome video and what a great time we had!!! Thanks Elite!!

Danke 🙏 thank you

I gota go there one day

Really good explanation... great instruction

How about putting this is handle feature on the $6995 inflatable Air model? $12,995 seems like a crazy jump in price …

Hi can you help me: i am buying a board and I have a friend which dad makes carbon boards at home but I don’t know if it is better just to buy one wooden from commercial brands

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Good tips thank you ! I specially notice your advice to move slightly upwind just when initiating the feet switch, first time I read it. I always switch stance being broad reach when out of a jibe and toe side, and that's too unstable to be reliable, so I'll try your tip. Besides, that would be helpful if you were to post a tuto on how to ride toe side, my main issue is not being able to ride close to the wind for long because I end up the nose facing the wind, so that's why I ride broad reach when toe side out of a jibe. I must add that I sail always with sea waves.

Hey guys, love your videos. Florida native here in Jacksonville! Can’t wait to drive down to either Saint Pete Area or the keys now that y’all pointed out some great spots! See you out there 😎

excellent video

nice explainer well done.

Drop the "OK" and "alright" for better presentation... video is useful.

Which song is that at the start of the video?

The Dog😍

Why did it take so long for the UA-cam algorithm to recommend this channel to me..

This trick is next level. How did you come to work this out? I wonder if Nikola Tesla could have seen the solution without trying it?

Thanks for making this! Could you just walk further up the center lines even on a low V, and then pick your top line once you're closer?

спасибо самое понятное практичное объяснение на youtube thanks the most understandable practical explanation/

What is considered the front line?

Is it 1. Load/carve up wind 2. Send 3. Pop? Or 1. Send 2. Load/carve up wind 3. Pop? Thank you very much for making these very helpful videos!

I have hard time to maintain the kite at 45 degree while controlling the speed.

I have trouble going upwind when traveling to the right. I am OK traveling to the left with your tips.

Awesome idea and the specific instructions are appreciated.

Too complicated like this

Great video for beginners,you covered everything.

Very cool video! 🤗I am at a point in my Wingfoiling progress where I want to learn the jibe now and this will bring me forward a lot! Super many thanks for it! 👍

I started this sport last fall and am equally comfortable in either direction, probably from windsurfing for 20 years. So I've never ridden toe-side. I crash halfway through every gybe. I'm thinking I should practice toe-side riding. Then, I need to pick between switching before or after. I've also moved from a 170-liter inflatable to a 114-liter Cabrina Code. For learning to Gybe I have two questions. Should I go back to the bigger board and when would be the best time to switch? Thanks for the advise in this video.

Doggo wanted to join ! Great vid

Really nice, thx for that! Just let me add an advice: depower your kite all the way before starting the process

Now the wing tip of the kite got wet and it's ruined

Can you show what happens if you let go altogether?

instructions unclear my kite is on a tree now thanks

Appreciate your work!

If you’re a regular wakeboarder & snowboarder, how hard would you say this would be to pick up and try?

Oh my gosh, the kite is ruined now because it touched the water😮

That is how I self launch but with one difference is that I have the chicken loop in my hand instead of hooked in. The kite never pulls hard with this technique which I think is safer and rarely slides into the window too I'm not sure why.

I watched this video as soon as it came out two month ago and I have to say it has made me a much better kiteboarder. I especially love the "constant pressure" on board tip, I have been nailing my water starts consistently with this technique and never waste anytime trying to figure out where the wind is coming from and where to aim my board. Thanks @Elite and @Aaron!

hey man, love the effort the share this stuff eh! my question- on that first pop and hard back to 11 (while at apex ) , you speak about returning the kite back to 12, pausing , and then doing a tight back handed heli often I do the first half of this, sending the kite towards 11, just as you describe , but then I down loop by pivoting at that 11 o clock state and I ride away essentially converting the jump to a down looped transition. my question is then: was that down loop a heli, (you mentioned at the start there’s tons of variety in helis) and otherwise what’s the incentive to shift from what I described to your demonstration? these jumps are at 25-30ft , so maybe the incentive to push thru the maneuver to your finishing steps (back hand heli), is for higher jumps to avoid hard landings / style points etc?

Great tips. Thanks

Thanks!!!

I did a little bit of bar magic last week, what happened was my wing tip got too close to the water touched the surface and before I could swing it back up, a gust came and suddenly inverted my kite. 🤦‍♂️ not the first time I inverted my kite and probably not the last either. Being in the waves, it’s not the position you want to be in for long, so I had 2 options: chicken Loop quick release and try to reset rather than self rescue or tug on the center lines and see if I can invert the kite. I went for the second option and after pulling really hard on the center lines, I was able to put the kite into beach pose on the water, I was then able to re-launch my kite only now the lines were crossed, but it still flys ok and I was able to get back to the beach, sure I could’ve tried to play with it some more to fix the lines but when you’re in deep water and waves doing bar juggling is probably not the best idea. Much easier to sail back to the beach, safely land the kite, and then fix the crossed lines. I know it’s frowned upon in the community to drop your kite in the water, but I drop my kite all the time because I’m always trying new stuff. I look at it as an opportunity to learn something new.

Most of that’s pretty common sense but good to know that the one entering has right of way, as when your kiting the one downwind has the right of way…

awesome

Thanks!

I do have 60 seconds for a front roll😁 💨🌊🏄‍♀️🪁
