Body dragging
26 April 2008Who would enjoy getting their body dragged? Well, if it’s in the water, most kiters would say it is fun and it’s a skill that is necessary to master if you ever want to be able to retrieve your board. By pointing your arm and body in the right direction, you can make tacks and go upwind, but the best is and most fun is downwind where you can actually jump and fly without a board on your feet! In our school we teach you this and a lot of other fun things too!
Yesterday we had a student (Manuel) that tried it for the first time. The wind was fairly strong around 15 knots with a choppy sea. It’s fair to say that he swallowed quite a lot of water because he was laughing so much. When he got out of the water all he could say was “THIS IS AWESOME”. Great, another one is hooked!
