Don't pull the bar is the phrase most repeated by kitesurf instructors and photographers who deal with those who are learning to kitesurf.

When you're about to fall, you instinctively want to hold onto or cling to something.

In the case of kiters in front of them there is the bar which is the main command to give more power and decide the direction where you want to go.

In light winds, if you don't pull the bar, the kite remains stationary at the top ''At midday'', however, if you pull the bar completely with the kite stationary, it tends to stall and therefore fall forward due to ''little air'' that passes inside.

In moderate or strong winds, if the kite stalls forward and ends up in the power zone and you continue to pull the bar, it is very easy for the rider to be pushed forward at high speed, thus creating the SUPERMAN effect!!

For beginners struggling with the first ''Water-start'' when you direct the kite into the power zone and pull the bar the kite often impacts water or obstacles for those who are sailing for the first time it is often not intuitive to stop and it is instinctive to pull the tiller and accidents can be created, causing physical trauma to people downwind and breaking one's own equipment and that which one often ''entwines'' with the main damages are he kite fabric broke in half.

Pulling the bar and trying to lower the navigation speed is like braking in a car or motorbike with your foot on the accelerator still pressed the specialised sailmakers thank all the people who have broken at least one kite by pulling the bar!

For this reason, if you are a beginner or if you are already advanced, if the kite is about to fall or you don't know what to do:

DON 'T PULL THE BAR!!!!
