This is a very good and clear video. You can see that this video was created to teach and not to show off (many other "how to load and pop" videos show you somebody doing some very cool moves instead of clearly drilling down the basics). Thank you very much.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, we do try to teach and not just make a cool looking video which usually is accompanied with very minimal instructions and just repeated video sequences in slow motion.
My jumps look exactly like what you show at 0:15. I knew I was missing the "load and pop" effect, but this video has confirmed it and explained clearly what I have to do. Now I just need more time in the water :)
POWER! One thing she doesn't mention is power. I tried this for a week then one day when i was feeling what i used to think was slightly overpowered, I finally got a great load and pop. When you pull the bar towards you, you should feel tons of power and pull. If not, your kite may be too small. Or you need to wait for a gust! I bet this is the real most common mistake. GREAT VIDEO!!
As Mariano and Stephane already mentioned great video! I could see my self in the water without the pop. Looking forward to get in the water and try your tips! Thanks!!!
+Sam Mcneil Thanks and keep watching / subscribe. We have more coming. Also, if you have anything in particular you would like us to cover, let us know.
This is awesome, I tried with other videos to learn this technique with no good results, neverthelese, what it is explained here was what I needed. Great video!!!
Hi, you need a medium amount of speed to get some decent height on your pop. It is not necessary to go top speed but the faster you go, the more height the pop will give you.
Hello again, i have follow your advices, i have pop a bit, not very far or hight, but i have feel the sensation. That help me a lot for jump. Next time i LL try yo b better. Thann you again, vert much.🏄😁
Nice video! I am trying to learn this exercise. But i have a question. Can it also be done with small amount of speed? Or do I really need to surf with a lot of speed?
Have a look at our backroll video to see how to integrate a rotation into the load and pop. For regular jumps you simply need to add the kite motion. That means, send the kite back as you load and just as the kite passes 12 o´clock, pop out and pull the bar in. If there is time, we plan to shoot some fresh instructional addressing kite assisted jumps. Stay tuned.
Hi, what is the right timing of sheeting in and out of the bar? When I load I have to sheet in, when I go upwind I have to sheet out and when I jump I have to sheet in again?
Really informative, and I particularly like the way you go over the common mistakes, as I can see which of the variations most match what I'm doing! @beire1569 The track is called Data Italia by Skatbard... think it's available on Soundcloud.. Cheers.
Thank you very much, very good explications, but i don t understand somes words (i m french, sorry) Can you write the words between 2.32 minutes and 2.45 please. At 3.40 what do you mean for "kicking out back leg" ? :-)
We will be doing a new version of this video very soon and it will have subtitles too. With "kicking out" we mean it is important to really straighten your back leg (lock the knee) so you get the maximum push from it. Think of itas if you were trying to jump towards the kite by pushing with your back leg away from the water.
Alwayswindy thanks for the video. I've had one lesson for learning to jump and have spent it trying to work on the load and pop. I was however instructed on that lesson not to completely straighten back leg out as it could over-extend the back of the board and lose the load. It felt like that at times for me. Your comments please.
If you dont kick, you dont jump. There is no such thing as over extending when doing the pop however what is likely the problem in your case is timing. If you leave it for too late, then that would stop you from getting any pop. Kick out earlier and I am sure you will get a solid pop.

Nice video! I am trying to learn this exercise. But i have a question.
Can it also be done with small amount of speed?
Or do I really need to surf with a lot of speed?
Good instructions, thanks!
Very well done tutorial!
Fantastic video, very helpful thank you :-)
Very useful video. Is it filmed in Akyaka Turkey?
+Alwayswindy Thanks for the informative video. How do you convert the load and pop into regular jumps and back rolls?

Music is indeed awful
I had to stop washing. The music was just too irritating. A pity.
Nice instruction! Thanks.
