Rob Claisse from Progression joins the Kiteworld team for our foiling equipment tests. Lately he’s just been sitting about like the rest of us, though… or has he? 

 

 

At this difficult time, it’s important to try to keep your kiting stoke alive, so we are making the brand new issue #104 and the accompanying 164 page Travel Guide available to everyone as a digital issue completely free. Delivered on the Zinio platform, read the issue in custom sized plain text and picture mode or the attractive designed pdf format.

All you need to do is enter your email address via this link and we’ll deliver the issue and TG to you absolutely free, via Zinio.

 

About the video, Progression say: Learn to progress your kitesurfing from your sofa!

Episode 1: Board Grabs – It’s time to get some exercise with a few grab routines and build up that muscle memory ready for when you are back on the water! All from the safety of your sofa, Progression’s Rob Claisse will introduce you to the basics of the tail grab, giving you the in-depth understanding of what, why and how to make that first grab. Then we’ll look at how to improve our technique by hanging under the kite before we run through all 9 back hand grabs.

Kitesofaing is Progression’s new web series, offering constructive techniques you can practice at home during the COVID-19 lockdown (though nothing to stop you carrying on when things go back to normal). The plan is for two videos each week:

• The Weekend video will be focused on “doing”, activities you can try and practice at home
• The Mid-week video will cover a range of topics and focus more on better understanding through detailed theory briefings and question and answer sessions – submit your questions to Rob at kitesofaing@progression.me
