Kiteboarding Powered Jump Transition: Low Crail - Ride with Blake

[Toby]

The kiteboarding Jump Transition with power

It has come to our attention that this grab is a Crail grab. In the video we mistakenly call it a Nuke.

My apologies for any confusion. The Crail grab is your backhand reaching across to the nose of the board.

The Nuke is technically when you take that a step further to your heelside edge.
Today we are going to go over how to do a powered transition. The low Crail grab with a downloop.

Last time, we covered a sent Crail grab with the option to redirect the kite or use a downloop.

The difference between these two tricks is in the powered variation you will keep the kite low and use board speed for pop.

You are going to be twisting your hips away from the kite on a horizontal axis rather than a vertical one and lastly, you have have to use a downloop to turn this into a transition.
