The best way to go big is to have the right equipment for the job. Rig a slightly larger kite, use 27- to 30-meter lines and ride a board that you can edge hard. This combination of gear is sure to launch you! When you’re edging hard with your front leg straight and back leg bent, and you have plenty of board speed, quickly increase your edging power while simultaneously pulling the kite from about 45 degrees off the water straight to neutral as fast as possible. As the kite starts to rise, release your edge and prepare for liftoff. Hold the kite straight above your head until the apex of your jump. As you start to descend, quickly bring the kite back down in the direction you were headed, bend your knees and prepare for landing.
