Uncharted Kite Sessions

Wipeouts and whiplash. It happens to all kiters. One good snap of the melon and your day is done. How do you stop it?
Inspired by my friend Sam Chilvers post about how she recently had whiplash from a crash, I thought I’d offer this pro tip on how to save yourself from seeing stars. ✨
As soon as you realize you’re about to eat s**t, let go of the bar with the hand that isn’t needed to keep the kite in the air, and grab your head like a coconut 🥥
This bracing will prevent your head from snapping when your body hits the water at full speed. Prevent the snap, save your session.
Pro Tip 2: Always ride with an impact vest. So that when you grab your head, the ribs are protected from the impact. (Side pro tip: wear your impact vest as the base layer. It sticks to your skin better. And get a vest without a zipper. Nice and tight pulllover and it’ll stay stuck for your whole session).
Have a great session 🤙🏽

During the kite camp with Fred Hope the waves in the outside were firing. It was hard not to want to turn a foil camp into a strapless camp 😆 But after the guests were gone, there were still some bombs to be had over the weekend. 🌊

Open seat! Sadly we had a guest cancel so now we have 1 seat open for our incredible foil camp with world champion March 29th to April 4th, 2026 in Cabarete, DR 🇩🇴
First come, first served. This a unique chance to learn from the best, while enjoying fantastic ocean and living conditions.
Book this seat now!

First kite sessions since August when I was in 🇧🇷. No rust at all. Just like riding a bike. I used to crash my bike a lot too.
