2 Kite Flying Exercises to Increase Kitesurfing Confidence

Here are a couple of important kite-flying exercises I use every day. Designed for people who want to build their kite flying confidence and comfort level.
Overcoming fear of the unknown helps people progress. Understanding 90% of kiting is kite control, these kitesurfing exercises are not designed as tricks but as skills to practise so that if and when you need them, you know how. As you progress in kiting, they might become part of your everyday riding too. (I use them every day)
These two kite-flying skills significantly reduce fears and increase confidence in flying a kite.
It helps people (if I accidentally do this, how will it feel)

Most recently from Mark Thompson who bought us a 6-pack. I'm literally drinking a Coopers Pacific Ale right now while I type this! Thanks Mark!
Kite Flying Skill One: Loop the kite. Controversial and not often taught in lessons. This kite flying exercise is about the kite movement itself and not a jump. When you loop a kite, it can have a strong power gradient.
The power of the kite starts with nothing, then quickly goes to max power, then ends with no power again in the neutral position
Once you get used to the power delivery that the kite loop does, it's not scary at all and helps riders feel significantly more confident.
Kite Flying Skill Two. Knowing when you can let go of the bar.
Letting go of the bar is your friend. Letting go of the bar in a controlled manner Helps riders relax with an understanding that you don't have to be clutching and actively steering the kite endlessly.
