Attack Lines

Also called control lines, because you will send these lines. Run from the points of the bar to the back of the kite and have been away from you or toward you move the bar to tighten or loosen up. Sets (like putting on a windsurfing sail) the angle of the kite in the air and thus the force that makes the kite.

Angle of attack

Angle of the kite in the sky. In other words, the inflow angle of air past the kite. Too flat and the kite falls forward, too steep and the kite flying backwards. That allows you to power under the stairs and go through the bar constantly to attract or push away from you on the depower.

Arc

This is the arc that the leading edge of the kite has. The extent to which the center of the leading edge higher than the wingtips.

Aspect ratio

Is simply the ratio between length and width of a kite. Here's a complicated formula but most kiteboarders see how often the center of the length of the strut leading edge fits. The higher the aspect ratio (AR), the higher the airspeed and the slower the kite running. The lower the GL, the slower the kite flying, but the kite turn faster and more stable.

Asymmetrisch

If the whole side of your kiteboard is different from the toeside. Is applied because you want the whole side grip especially on the toeside and more maneuverability. Toe-side and have quite a different outline.

Bar

This is in your hands and allows you to control the kite.

Bar ends

Points of the bar around the winding lines when the kite materials clean up (so called "winders" mentioned.)

Bodem

Underside of the board. So where you sail.

Bodydrag

You to the kite to drag through the water.

Bottomturn

Part of the wave driving, fast corner in the valley of the wave with you to the top of the wave toedraait.

Bowkite

Patented concept. Flatter than the C-shape kite, allowing more of the total area of ​​the kite actually used to generate power. The kite is held flat by a bridle on the leading edge. An additional advantage is that the kite almost immediately lose all their power if you let go of the bar (even if you're still hooked).

Channels

Bottom shape with milled jobs (channels) for efficient water drainage and hence better aanplaneer properties and grip. Too much or too sharp channels at the expense of maneuverability.

Chickenloop

Not a coward, but for looping the loop where you hook into the trapeze and so attached to your kite (also known depowerloop).

Choppy

Speed​is not relaxed, because you must constantly pay attention that you do not dive into a wave and you bouncing in all directions.

Concaaf

Concave bottom shape (if you like the tip to the tail under a board by looking). Provides faster planing easier because air flows under and in extreme form for more grip.

Cookproof

Another name for idiot-proof and is used for the buttons that you confirm the lines on the kite. Due to the reverse buttons for lines to use against the rear lines, so it is impossible to connect the wrong lines.

Concaaf

As a child flying gull recorded. Provides extra grip and quicker planing.

C-shape kite

Kite as three to four years ago was standard. With a leading edge of the front view of a circular arc and is entitled to the wingtips to allow kiteboarder. The wing tips are really only to send but do not pull.

Deck

Top of the board. So you are standing.

Depower

The bar by pushing away from you, get behind the lines open longer and the kite as you do with a windsurfing sail through your back hand to celebrate. This kite has less power.

Depower line

Between your chicken loop line and the lines of your kite. This line runs through the bar and the bar, talking about up or slide down. The position of the bar on the Depower line determined the ratio of voltage to the front and rear lines, and thus determines the power that the kite generates (see back lines).

Directional

Board with foot straps and the back just below the tail fins. Can only go forward, so you will have to step to the other direction to sail, or sail back toeside. The first boards were so named, but the directional shape is back but is now called wave and surfboard.

Downwind

Of the wind.

Drag

Resistance. Which pushes the kite as it were, backwards and slows the airspeed. Lift and drag together a force that the kiteboarder really feel at his bar.

Dubbel Concaaf

Double concave bottom shape (if you like the tip to the tail under a board by looking).

Dumpvalve

Large valve allowing the kite to deflate fast.

Edgen/kanten

On the side of the sail board. You do if you want to sail upwind, or want to send brakes. The more you hand, the more grip you have.

Fins

The fins under the Board for more grip and control should be guaranteed. Most boards have four fins of about 5 cm long.

Flex

Rigidity / flexibility of a board. Whole rigid boards are generally a little harder but are very taxing on ankles and knees. Limp boards sail boating, but more flexible and react more slowly.

Flipnose

Board that ends in a short upright nose. The flip nose begins at the bottom side is often at odds with a nod to when traveling on the water does not stick. Particularly useful in choppy conditions.

Foil

Also known as mattress or ram air kite called. Kite moving through the air along the kite itself fills with air. Has a less rigid profile and therefore need a bridle or Bridel stable shape.

Also called a suicide leash called because it was only some way of fixing enables complete depower kite when you let go of the bar. Often the kite so just draw a leash.

Hangtime

During a time you jump in the air brings.

Heelside

The cut edge of your board or sail on the heels side.

High- end

Maximum wind with a kite that you still can.

Hybride

A kite between the bow and the C-shape in it. Hybrids have been flatter than C-shape kite but do not use full bridle. Often the flatter arc of the kite held by a fifth line that splits any multiple attachments to the leading edge.

Inflatable

Also called kite tube. Kite with inflatable sections. You need a pump to get him ready to sniff it.

Larks head

In English "Larks head". The simple knot that you are the kite lines to confirm.

Leader lines

The first pieces thicker line from the bar to walk the thin line. For safety and security of your hand to confirm.

Leading Edge

Front of the kite. This leads to the kite he flies. The name of the large tube at the front of the kite. In an inflatable also provides a nice stable arc or arc of the kite.

Leash

lifeline between kiteboarder and bar / lines. Makes sure your kite does not fly off and therefore a danger to others while using the quick release on the chicken loop is used or if you unhooked from the trapeze bar, you let go. More important than not losing your kite is that the leash will ensure that the kite loses all his power right when you pull quick release.

Leash release

Quick release to the last connection to the kite disconnection. Use when you post your chicken loop quick release submitted by the kite is pulled.

Length

length tip to tail of the board. The longer, faster. The briefer and more agile, and the easier you keep control by strong winds.

Elevator

Often used to indicate how high you can jump with a kite, but it is actually the term for the aerodynamic force which is caused by differences in air flow above and below the kite.

Lines

Usually made of Dynema thin lines where the kite is attached and it is managed. Generally between 20 and 27 meters long and between 150 and 200 kg of torque per line.

Low-end

Or leash

If you work hard you get your board is in your neck, so with a helmet boardleash is required immediately.

Oldschool

kitesurfing style in which one of the generally hooked the kite controlled. Tricks that are often made: one footers, board offs and rotations.

One Footer

Trick with a foot out of the bond is removed during the jump.

Onepump

system through a valve where you all at once to pump. Also available in 2pump. Then the leading edge off your pump and pumped the struts at once. Different brands use different marketing terms for this.

Outline

The shape of the board seen from above or below. A red outline indicates a lot of agility, a straight outline (rectangular) more speed and grip.

Pigtails

Also called connection points. These are the attachment points for the lines on the kite.

Pop

Sales from your board. By extra edges or hard on your tail off to put pressure builds up under your board. This pressure can bebruiken to spawn for a power move. The amount of sales you can get from such pressure is the doll. This depends on the width, flex and grip on your board.

Power Moves

Also power moves tricks or speed. For this kind of jumps you do not send the kite to fly up high to enjoy. You keep the kite low and bebruikt the pressure under your board to hard to turn off. This kind of tricks are quick and short and landigen are hard.

Powertrim

Also called depowertrim. Depower line is between you and lines. To shorten the trim, you can shorten the front lines so that the rear lines are relatively less stress and less hard the kite pulls. If you make it longer there is more tension on the rear lines and therefore more power in the kite. It is a setting for the power of the kite.

Powerzone

Zone for the kite boarder, where the kite pulls full.

Preflight check

Once the kite is made sure that everything is confirmed.

Quick release

Security system with which you can connect at any time independently of the kite (also the greatest strength). Hear any connection between kiteboarder and kite. Especially the quick release on the chicken loop is extremely important.

Rails

sides of the board. Partly determine the Grop of the board.

Rocker line

line across the bottom of the board, leading to the nose (and usually to the far back) slowly rises. Rocker is required to get your board on waves. Rocker your board without diving into the water. Too much rocker is not good, this will slow your board and planing it less quickly. Nose Rocker is also called Scoop.

Roll leash

Boardleash that only deploys when you fall and then slowly rolls. Cross between a belt and a dog leash. With a rolleash you do not need a helmet.

Rotations

trick where you jump in the long axis revolves around you.

Apparent wind

The wind you feel as if kiteboarder you're sailing. The apparent wind is a combination of true wind and the breeze created by your own. The higher the speed, the harder the apparent wind is and the more it emerges from. The apparent wind is even more to you as the wind speed. Eg oscilloscope or nose rocker.

Sleeve

Substances hulsje to both ends of a kite line. Reduces wear and prevents the fiber from which sharp lines are constructed between nodes in the cut.

Stables

When the angle of the airflow at a kite too large and the flow loses its grip and lift force therefore no longer deliver, we call it stable.

Stance

c'est l'entre les deux pieds ecartement.

Strap

See foot rail.

the part backest of the board

Tips

It's the wing tip, the ears.

Toeside

toe side of your board or sail on your toe side.

bridle

Twin Wave

Boards you can go backwards and forwards, but they have a clear nose and tail. Especially for grip and speed in wave riding.

Unhooked

unhooked. If your chicken loop hooked from the trapeze, you can power and depower no longer operate. It provides new possibilities but also much heavier. Is only done for certain tricks and wave riding.

Upwind

to the wind.

Upwind sailing

Also run height or the wind. The easiest way to kite is inclined with the wind. As every beginner start with but then you always decline. Upwind sail is angled into the wind to sail in the same place to come back as where you started.

Valve air intake

In the so-called inflatables are the valves which inflate the kite. Foilkites at the openings where the kite in the air flow during the flight "valves" called.

Safety

Each brand has its own kite safety, it is used in an emergency. The kite is activating the security system immediately invalidated.

four line kite

Kite which is controlled by four lines. You can steer left and right and the kite more and less power and speed.

Fifth line

extra line in the middle of the leading edge is tight and the bar runs down. This allows the manufacturer to adjust the arc of a kite, the more pressure around the leading edge divide but the most important aspect is safety. The fifth line can be attached to the leash so the kite improved security and reliability has restarted.

5 lines kite

Kite by five lines. Board with four lines left and right and you can steer the kite more and less power and speed. The fifth line is easy to restart, additional veiliheid and is increasingly in support of the kite shape is used.

Ankle Strap or straps

Tapes your feet on the Board must comply. Most boards have two straps anywhere you can step from one side. So you have a solid heel and toe side.

Front Lines

lines leading to the front of the kite running. They sit on the bottom line and Depower the chicken loop to determine the kiteboarder. The front of the kite is thus a somewhat fixed distance from the kite boarders.

Wakestyle

Kitesurfing with much power in the kite. The kite is generally very low and the trucks are usually unhooked, see power moves.

Waterstart

départ assis dans l'eau, soit lorsqu'on debut, soit quand on a pass pied.
