So, you've got kite parked and going slightly downwind to the max (winds above 18knots).
As soon as I start to pull the kite up towards 12, I put my right foot down a bit (riding to my left)
And as soon as the kite pull starts I make a quick flick of the board out of the water using my front foot to lift off!
Is that right?
I am still "jumping" by jumping out of the water when I feel the pull of the kite. Sometimes I fluke it and I go up high, but many a time I jump like a lame duck!
