Module 6 – Tiki lessons
Learn the Tiki in Kitesurfing
Tiki Course - Wood and Style
The Tiki is a long wooden board (usually Paulownia) specially designed for kitesurfing.
It is a formidable weapon in light winds with an easy start from 8 knots, but also holds up perfectly at 30 knots and more.
The length of its rail and its flexibility offers a great capacity to go upwind and a light and smooth gliding feeling.
Why, for whom?
- Prerequisite: To be a Level 3 INDEPENDENT kiteboarder
- The desire to explore new sliding sensations.
- A tool in the light and strong wind.
- Ideal companion for long distances.
A return to the roots!
Ideal for learning the Strapless, its great lift forgives the beginner’s positioning errors and allows you to concentrate more on the balance between kite piloting and navigation on this pretty board.
You learn to be mobile and fluid while riding, and you get a very smooth feeling of the ride.
The feedback is excellent thanks to the Paulownia wood which faithfully transmits the movements of the board to the feet.
The Tiki absorbs chop and offers an incredibly smooth ride.
