Underpowered situation kitesurfingWritten by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1
There are several other techniques for underpowered situation kitesurfing. You should try to move kite constantly to produce power and speed. For example, you can use figure 8 pattern and sine wave pattern during underpowered situation kitesurfing. Also, try to use longer lines if you know that there is a possibility of underpowered situation kitesurfing because of weather at your kitesurfing location. If nothing helps, you can use your kite and both of your hands to swim to shore. Just remember to wind lines in before you start swimming.

The next step in learning how to feel power of kite is to learn and practice to control flying speed of kite. You should learn both how to decrease and increase kite’s power. This technique of controlling flying speed of kite is easier to learn, as compared to controlling projected surface, and is considered a somewhat better way how to feel power of kite and control that power. Though it is not that easy to reduce power of kite through this technique, increasing power of kite is very easy. All you have to do is just fly your kit and, depending on wind position, use different wave patterns. With this method it is much easier to learn how to feel power of kite and to actually stay in control.
