Upwind Kitesurfing: What You Need to Know

Bonjour à tous, aujourd'hui on va parler de remonter au vent I'm going to go to the airport and I'm going to go to the airport It's a big subject, so I propose you separate it into several small chapters. Each of these subjects will have its importance And by the end of the video, you should know what to focus on to have an effective remontée au vent I take this opportunity to point out that often, the problems of remonte au vent Starting with a bad water start In my previous video, we talked about just this water start. I explained to him how important it was to observe a phase of speed up. Before the opponent This opposition is directly linked to the remontée au vent which we are going to talk about today. So if your water start is bad, it's entirely normal to have poor performance The report shall be submitted to the Commission by 30 June. I invite you to go see the video on the waterstart before returning to this one. If you're 100% comfortable with this prerequisite, then we'll be able to go without any more delay. First, let's talk about the trajectory. It is important and quite elementary to know which trajectory to take. We can evolve our navigation. I invite you to find the direction of the wind when you arrive at your spot. Then, with the wind in your back, you'll be able to open your arms 180 degrees. This cap, this direction that you are pointing, is the cross relative to the wind That is to say that by going to left and to right only in this direction You will theoretically return to your point of departure By removing your bra by a few degrees from the cross You have the perfect windsurfing head. This orientation is called le pré dans le milieu du nautisme And there, you have visually identified the direction in which you will have to go to climb up the wind You can therefore deduce that if you try to go in a direction I'm not going to go back to the way things were before. You're going to slow down and you're going to sink. It may also be noted that if you go in a trajectory that descends significantly to the wind relative to the cross It's good to fall back at a certain point and that's when you often have to fall back on your feet. And that, that hurt. It is therefore quite fundamental to have a general idea of the cap which we will have to use to remont the wind That being said, for me, the most important thing is to work on his piloting technique. and the sensations on a navigation So I don't recommend my students to focus on visual cues to the outside Relatives to the cap pend qu'ils navigant Let us talk about this posture, the position of the body that we must have to rise to the top. That's an important subject. The base is to come create opposition vis-à-vis your kite. A nice position to climb up the wind could look like this. The bust is straightened, the front shoulder is frankly engaged towards the back. Pour faire contrepoids avec son corps vis-à-vis of his kite I'd like to take a minute to talk to you about the position of your legs. Many practitioners consider it very important to push on the hind leg Think of putting a lot of weight on your hind leg. I advise you not to focus on that. The reason is simple, on a par rapport au kite. If you want to oppose something You go naturally in reverse of where this something pulls you So if your kite was directly in front of you The most natural way to oppose, would be to let yourself go backwards. With the weight distributed exactly on both legs But that's not the case when you navigate. Your kite is slightly ahead of you. So naturally, your opposition position will be slightly more on the hind leg And it's very good like that, that's enough. If you focus on having weight on the back leg and push as much as possible on the back leg You risk to all the strokes of inclining your planch sous l'eau And she lost at that moment much in efficacy She starts acting like a brake You're not exploiting his volume and his career anymore. for remonter au vent efficacy Attention also to the positions accroupies With the asses that go backwards Since'en plus of being particularly inesthetic They are really ineffective In fact, they give you an impression of opposition. But everything you do in reality It's descending your center of gravity. You do not exercise any opposition. I want to prove the position of the planchette. Who is here? It's really the engagement of your front shoulder Towards the rear, towards the wind Who will tilt your planch? Because you use your body weight at that moment. I'm going to make a fight. The second fundamental element that really goes de pair With your corps position It's the piloting. If there's one thing that's certain It's that your kite must be static A kite in motion is a kite. which exercises the traction and the traction goes under the wind So you see, it's really incompatible With the fact of remonter au vent The position of the kite may also be important. Note that a kite is too close to noon. a tendency to exert a somewhat vertical traction Qui a tendance à vous porter vers le haut (who has a tendency to carry you upwards) And she prevents you at the same time to oppose your body weight et votre cap I advise you therefore to conserve your kite around 2 o'clock After 10 o'clock for a really effective remontée au vent The position of your bar on the edge of the shocked It's also super important. I recommend you keep a bar. on the point of tension to maximize your remontée au vent Unless otherwise specified I'm going to favor the speed limit. And of course you will take the wind A barrel too loose will favour the deceleration and the stop in the direction of the wind But I won't dwell on that subject. Since I already have a video entirely dedicated to speed management qui revient là dessus en détail et qui est disponible sur la chaîne The French press is reporting on the situation in the Netherlands. This famous speed justement Let's talk because there's a lot of confusion. to this subject-là Speed is necessary to ride the wind. Without speed, on s'arrête et on coule But when you take the speed by your movement You create the wind Which goes naturally to the opposite your sense of movement It's a particularly visible phenomenon. Especially in the car when you pass your hand through the window. The average of the true wind The wind is real, the wind is generated by the weather. and de ce vent ressenti It's called the vent apparent. This wind seems to blow in one direction. Which offers you a less interesting trajectory Pour la remonter au vent (pour the remonter to the wind) So you better hurry up. Plus you make your wind feel heavy in the balance And so you create yourself un venti apparently défavorable Even if it seems complicated, it's all right. There's no reason to take the head. You just have to remember that if your speed is excessive You're creating a wind that's coming to your disadvantage. So if you want to maximize Your remonter au vent, it will fall your rider The maximum loan possible without pour autant Falling at a speed that will make you lose your grip And that will make you run well obviously To be honest, I think that's where I mentioned What's more important As a kite-watcher, I spend my days at the beach. And every time I see someone who is obliged to remonter au vent à pied, to make this famous Walk of shame, there is always a problem either de pilotage, or de position de corps It is these two elements that will make In general, there is either a speed which is excessive It is not a matter of speed. And the wind is not good So you see, the piloting and the position of the corps It's really the nerve of the war, that's what's important. But I wanted to finish this video anyway. I 'll tell you a little bit about the material. Because even with the best technique in the world With equipment inadequate to the poor conditions It never rains. In respect of the size of the wing Make sure you're properly toiled. I'm not too, not too little. For that, I'm redirecting you to the site Manufacturer of your equipment Often on a des graphes qui vous donnent the average range of use For the kite, well, it's the tools that are imperfect but who will already give you a first idea If you are a newcomer to kite And that your only objective for the moment is to climb up to the wind d'éventuellement passer et quelques transitions (and eventually to make some transitions) I advise you not to do so. Take models of kites that are The trophy is awarded to the best-performing team. Often they have a piloting that is more technical a distribution of the power that is Less intuitive and all that, it can. Harm to your performance in the wind The choice of your support, de la planche What you're going to put under your feet, that's also a true subject I advise you to maximize The size and volume of Minimize the rocker. No idea what I'm talking about, the best thing is that you're going to see The video is entirely dedicated to Choice of a twin tip qui est disponible sur ma chaîne You 'll see that it's a little bit old but all the The information is still there. La remonter au vent is a subject that is quite technical. The number of unemployed is The principle of the principle of opposition Related to a kite that is well stable in the window while maintaining a moderate speed I'm going to help you with the choqué and the side of it. The main principle of base, on a tonne of Small subtleties that make it so. Could spend a lifetime optimizing I'm 100% sure you'll be fine. This video, was with you to propose a content Enough clear for the more beginners to enter. You can go directly to the water with a fairly clear idea of what needs to be put in place All in a little effleurant The technical nature of the subject matter Riders plus advanced might find you their So I hope that's mission. I hope this video will help you. Don't hesitate to make me part of your return And your comments in the comments, it's always a Enjoy reading and I 'll tell you next time!
