Big Air & Technique
Performance system
Big Air Kitesurfing
The full chain from conditions and approach speed through send, edge, release, flight and landing.
Open guide → Performance mechanicsRelease Geometry
See how apparent wind, board angle, load, speed and pop meet at take-off — and how those ideas map into BTE analysis.
Open guide → TechniqueHow To Jump Higher
Build the take-off around speed, edge, send, release and repeatable session review.
Open guide → Take-off timingKite Angle & Send
Use the clock-face cue to test send and release timing while protecting speed, edge and line tension.
Open guide → Landing controlLanding
Redirect early, set the board slightly downwind, land with rear-foot bias, absorb and ride away cleanly.
Open guide → Technique labBoosting vs WOOsting
Investigate explosive release, pop and why two jumps that feel similar can score differently.
Open guide →Measurement & Analysis
WOO evidence
WOO Jump Height
Understand what the score tells you, what it does not, and why the rest of the jump evidence matters.
Open guide → Your sessionsReview
Move from general technique into your own height, airtime, edge, pop, wind and landing evidence.
Open report → LabEstimator Methodology
See what the height model uses, how its evidence is weighted and where the limits sit.
Open guide →Spots & Scotland
Location system
Kitesurfing Scotland
Barassie, Troon and the wider Scotland spot framework.
Open guide → Home waterBarassie
Understand the west-facing beach geometry, useful wind sectors and your home-water context.
Open spot → Home waterTroon South
WSW-facing beach geometry, local wind effect and the conditions that make South work.
Open spot →Setup Science
Kite architecture, aspect class, line length, harness and board — and how BTE decides when they genuinely matter.
