10 Reasons Why Every Girl Should Learn to Kiteboard

Transform your body, eat anything you want, get zen, live the beach lifestyle, make all men fall in love with you, and 5 more reasons why you should learn to kiteboard.

1. Transform your body
Kiteboarding is the best and most fun full body workout ever. Without even noticing that you’re working out, kiteboarding will make you look freaking hot. You’ll have the six pack and rock hard butt you’ve always wanted in no time.

How to build kickers, boxes, and rails

More and more people are wearing boots and riding park in kiteboarding. But there aren’t a lot of kiteboarding terrain parks in the world. In North America, unless you live or visit Hood River, Cape Hatteras, the Florida Keys, or Squamish, you probably haven’t had the chance to hit any features. If you don’t live in one of these places you should consider building your own features.

How to Hit Your First Rail

So you want to line up and hit a rail? It can be super daunting at first, but as soon as you’re locked into a rail you’ll love it! Before you can hit a rail, you’ve got to check on a few things.

First, set the rail in the water pointing somewhere around 45° off the wind. Make sure your gear is working right and check that your kite flies nicely unhooked without being overpowered or wanting to stall.

Take the fins off your board so they don’t catch and it’s going to feel a whole lot better if you’re laced into some bindings for control, commitment, and support.
