Wave riding is about surfing with kite support. Loops, pads and wax are allowed on the kite-surfing board. For the evaluation and to achieve high scores, among other things, fluid riding of the wave and spectacular maneuvers on the lip of the wave is a prerequisite. In advance, a maximum number of waves is determined in which the individual elements can be shown by the rider. The evaluation of the individual maneuvers will be adapted to the current wind and wave conditions. The following will be evaluated:
Strapless Freestyle is about artistic flight maneuvers with the kite-surf board without footstraps. This discipline is all about physics! Not in the conventional sense, but the riders seem to defeat gravity during their moves. They show spectacular tricks and maneuvers where the board seems to be weightless. For example, they take the board in their hands, perform their tricks with it above the water, and then land again standing on the board. The kite provides them with the appropriate lift and propulsion.
