Kiteboarding Tricks & Tips

Slim Chance

The Slim Chance is one of the harder handle pass moves. Learn it and make your friends feel worthless and
weak.

1)        Unhook. Keep your hands close to the center of the bar and begin to cycle the kite back.

2)        As you cycle the kite back make sure it doesn't’t pass 12:00, pop off the water and initiate an inverted front
flip… (helps to learn those first).

3)        Throw your body into the inverted position in one powerful motion while at the same time rotating away
from the kite . It helps to kick your legs out to get more lift.

4)        As you rotate your body, let go with your forward hand and reach for the grab on the other side. Do it in a
fast whipping motion and keep the bar close to your body.

5)        Make the grab and hang on. The kite may down loop and yank your arm. Don’t be a puss. Hang on.

6)        Spot your landing.

7)        Land with your knees bent and return to your heel side edge. Ride back to the beach with a big stupid grin
on your face and ask everyone if they saw it.
