Jesus Walk Kitesurfing Trick - How To Walk On Water

Jesus Walk Kitesurfing Trick - How To Walk On Water

Ever since I came up with that Kiteboarding trick over 12 years ago on the island of Martinique, I have always wanted to make a proper tutorial video on how to land a Jesus Walk.

The Jesus Walk AKA Jesus Style isn't an easy trick but it is one of the most fun to land.

I hope this in depth video will help the most adventurous of you to give it a try.

If this video helped you do not hesitate to leave a comment below.

If you are still struggling landing it, do not hesitate to leave a comment with what' you are doing wrong I will try and answer with the right tips.

Love this trick, the most difficult point for me as I'm practicing it with a 15 sonic fs is how I pull the bar and the good timing for the k-loop.most of the time I'm doing it too early and the kite pull me way too strong then I crash. Really harder than a darkslide as I can do this slide with more wind and speed as the water slow me down so I can initiate the kite loop really late loosing my speed and never get dragged strong away. Nice vid.

You need to fly it further behind the zenit before you pull. Keep walking longer, than pull.

I used to have that in stronger winds...but then kept walking longer, so now I can do it with an 18 in 25 knots.

you will see, when it loops on the edge of the wind window it does not have much power.

Let us know how it went!
