Kiteboarding Tricks and Tips

Tindy Glide

This is a great way to add style to your repertoire. Before you go out and try to learn this trick, make sure you
have solid raleys down first.

1)        Start this trick by bearing off and generating a lot of speed. Be careful not to go down wind too much.

2)        As you reach an uncomfortable speed, edge hard against the kite. When you are ready to throw it, edge
away from the kite in a quick arcing motion.

3)        Once you pop off the water think about bringing the board to your hand while reaching for the tindy grab.
Keep your shoulders square to the water and remember to extend your body.

4)        When you begin to feel gravity pulling you back, keep your eyes on the water and spot your landing.

5)        Land with speed and bend at the knees to absorb the landing. Return to you heel side edge and ride
away clean.
