This detailed tutorial guides you through the process of learning to boost higher. It is designed for kiters are landing small jumps consistently. It covers:
-landing technique first of all, since this is a key problem area and needs to be mastered before jumping higher.
-next, it explains strategies for launching higher, such as how to hold an edge at increased speeds.
-then, it walks through a 10m+ jump step by step.
-lastly, it looks at the importance of wind strength, water conditions, reducing risks as you start to boost higher.
**NOTE**As you boost higher you are definitely at increased risk. These risks can be mitigated with lots of light-wind practice, and by maintaining your equipment in top condition.
Filmed using a rebel, which is flatter kite (not a C kite), as this improves glide and softens landings:
