I think it also has to do with confidence! ...and trying to break the habit of not moving your kite too fast as it will cause lift. And "YES", kiteboarding without jumping would be....well....just less cool!

A bow will jump differnt from a SLE from a C. There are different wayt to jump different kites, so if you could provide more info there, you'll get more help. Also try to describe in more detail what happens...sometimes super minor adjustments will have a huge impact. a.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
