23/12/2009: South Africa How to get airborne while kite surfing You can jump voluntarily in kitesurfing. Try jumping using the following steps:
Dive the kite down to move the board very fast.
Suddenly move the kite upward and backward to zenith. Bend your knee and edge hard on the windward rail.
When you feel the kite pulling you sufficiently (the same feeling as when you are overpowered), suddenly release the rail and extend your knee to jump. You should be airborne at this moment. While airborne, try to move the board in front of you and keep the kite slightly forward to have enough power to get going upon landing.
