How to Practice Body Dragging

Welcome to a Tribe Tutorial, In this episode we are looking at all things body dragging. Body dragging is the best way to practise your kite skills with your kitesurfing kite safely in the water. By dragging your body rather than using a board it allows you to solely focus on the kite without having to worry about any board skills. I always tell our students to start off with; 90% of the sport of Kitesurfing is managing and controlling the kite. The more time you can spend body dragging and honing in your kite flying skills the quicker you will become a kitesurfer. I might add at this point that in some of the demonstrations in this video I am probably too close to the beach, please ensure you use enough space when you practise yourself.
