this is a two man operation.. one person alway pulls the lines to simulate the jump.. the Ukrainian guys on the video have been running this for years...
They inspired me to try something similar when I was learning board offs and some rotations..
Unfortunately I had to do it solo :-)

I have never seen this! It looks really promising, even as a one man operation. How much would you say it helped you?

You can learn hoard offs within 1 hour. Basically let muscle memory kick in. Then the remaining part is not to forget to steer the kite during actual ones on the water.
Without this “kite gym” it would have taken many more hours as every time you crash you waste 5 minutes while on the water.
