PROGRESSION

This week in our strapless kiteboarding series we are covering how to do a downloop transition. This can be learned on a twintip or a surfboard and like many new skills this is easiest to learn in flat water and take into the waves once some confidence is built. The downloop transition is not just more powerful jibe, but most importantly a kite flying technique that pays off in light wind helping to recover your kite from a stall, and is a foundation in kite flying technique for kitesurfing especially in side and side onshore wave riding conditions.
