How to: Tack and Roll Tack Kitesurfing

Спорт

This week in our strapless kiteboarding series we are covering how to Tack and Roll Tack. The tack on a surfboard can be and elusive maneuver, much more challenging than it looks, and comes down to dialing in the timing between your kite and board movements. With a slight alteration to the roll tack technique here this can taken from a surfboard to a foil board as well. The tack is another fundamental aspected of kitesurfing to build a confident foundation to improving your riding and getting out in more challenging riding locations and conditions.
New video's will launch every Tuesday at 9am!

    really enjoy your strapless series, keep up the great work. What part of the world would you suggest going to for learning how to wave sail ??

    Just like to add. It is more easy in the Swell to tack when you do it uphill. Hope you unterstand what i mean.

    Yes, good point, it could have been worth the mention for sure, timing in waves is key. Often that helps push you upwind and it is for sure harder carving into the wind on the backside of the wave rather than headed up the swell.

    Awesome video - you make it look so effortless.... QUESTION: is this easier with 2 fins or 4 ...? Thanks in advance

    what I'd really love to know is how do you know you're ready to jump from twintip to directional?

    Nice one Evan! I have been trying this for a while now, and I still feel pretty useless at it... I hope some of the tips in the video help me send at tack soon. I would like to see one of these videos to focus gear... I am working all these methods on a slingshot 5.10 celero and a 12 or a 9 RPM depending on conditions. I know the kite choice is probably not ideal, but it will take me a while to save up to get something else. I seem to be able to jibe pretty well but tacks still seem impossible. Thanks!

    Thanks David! I touch on gear a bit in a few later video's but good idea, perhaps I will make one more gear based in the future. Since I ride for Cabrinha I don't want to come off as biased (which is inevitable) but certainly a kite with more depower or lift even can help when tacking that the RPM. Something when you sheet in that gives you a bit more time to get your foot work down. The drifter works great as it has a lot of depower giving you a nice range to build power when sheeting in and I also used the Swichblade in a lot of these clips and while it is not a wave kite it is maybe even easier to tack with as it has even more lift to time to make the transition. Jibes you don't rely on any lift from the kite so that totally makes sense. I hope this does help!

    Is there a fin setup that's better for tacking (Ie. thruster vs quad)?

    I don't think it makes a huge difference either way, board shape and size probably plays a bigger roll. A longer narrower board may be a little harder...

    I'd say it will be a bit harder with a kite that doesn't depower well like a C kite, but both the Switchblade or xr5 will work good!
