Kitesurfing and Windsurfing Mui Ne in Phan Thiet, Vietnam

The following procedures are necessary for you to become independent in the water:

- Self-Rescue  Deciding what to do with your lines will depend on the conditions and on your location.

- Relaunching In light wind it can be an art; in strong wind the kite might relaunch unexpectedly.    

Phase II: Bodydragging and Preparation for Waterstart. Mastering these skills will get you ready to practice the waterstart effectively with the kite’s power under your control.  As you work on these, you’ll also be improving your reflexes, accuracy, timing, and confidence.

    - Smooth transition from launching to entering water & getting past shorebreak                

    - Getting maximum power without losing control: time your sheeting for acceleration and sharp turns

    - Bodydragging upwind

    - Controlling the direction you’re moving (upwind, downwind, crosswind) using the kite and your body

    - Board recovery: strategies to get back to your board quickly and efficiently                                   

    - Managing board and kite at the same time, getting a stable waterstart position (head and shoulders drill)

    - Waterstart form in both directions: effective powerstrokes and board control

      (Develop the habit of checking 360 degrees around you before each waterstart attempt!)

    - Recovering and sorting yourself out after the kite falls: regain control of the kite first, then get the board

 

Phase III: Waterstart and Riding. All the skills you’ve been working on come together here.

    - Getting used to longer lines and fine-tuning the powerstroke for control and accuracy

    - Right-of-way conventions (priority rules)    

    - Combining board control (edging and weight distribution) with powerstroke to get riding

    - Stopping and changing direction (do a 360 check first)

    - Riding upwind (Once you’ve learned to stay upwind consistently, the sky’s the limit!)

We will be covering important safety information at each stage of our lesson.

Throughout the course, both you and the instructor will be respecting safety rules and making the judgments calls required for each situation you are in.

Safety rule #1: Keep your downwind area clear and always be aware of the area 360 degrees around yourself.
