How to do a S-bend
Do you feel comfortable with the railey and some unhooked frontrolls? Then it is time to take it to the next level and try out the S-bend!
- make sure you have a comfortable riding speed
- put your kite in 45-50 degrees
- go a little bit down wind
- unhook and edge your board back upwind
- load your board and pop off the water when the pull moment is at his strongest moment.
- bring your legs high up backwards above your head
- right at this point it is time to start your front rotation when your body is horizontal extended
- Start your rotation by looking over your back shoulder and bring your complete body into the rotation
- stop your rotation while bringing your legs back under your body
- push your bar back down towards your chest.
- let your legs fall down and bring your board under your body again
- make yourself ready for impact and land a little bit downwindÂ
- edge back upwind and improve all these step every time you make a S-Bend!
