Level 6.2 – Long downwinders on your waveboard
Are you ready for the adventure?
You don’t just reach this level overnight: for the legendary TV TAS, you first need to prove yourself to the KiteActive team so we know you’re ready for this ultimate challenge. As a 6.2 kiter, you’ve already completed several long downwinders in strong wind on your waveboard and you’re used to the physical and mental challenges that come with it. The goal of this level is to expand your experience with unique journeys like our XXL downwinder in Brazil, or of course the iconic TV TAS in our home waters.
When are you at this level?
Downwind!
You’re at Level 6.2 – Downwind Waveboard when you’ve mastered the basics of wave riding and feel comfortable on your waveboard, even strapless. Most importantly, you’ve already completed several downwinders of 50 km or more on your waveboard, in strong wind and without issues. You’re not just riding at the back – you’ve shown that you can confidently hold your place in the middle of the group or even up front.
What will you learn?
And what do your sessions look like?
During your sessions, you’ll be kiting mostly on your own, spending tons of hours on the water and having a blast learning new tricks – or just cruising and enjoying the ride. We combine this with group theory, personal 1-on-1 coaching, and sometimes a helmet with radio connection for instant feedback. On top of that, we use video analysis to clearly track your progress and work on targeted improvements. The most important ingredient is that we’ll safely push you out of your comfort zone – helping you build confidence, learn new tricks, and take your kitesurf skills to the next level faster. Not in the mood for all that and just want to ride and enjoy? No problem!
Where’s the focus
rip that wave in half
The focus is on refining your technique and pushing your limits. You’ll learn to read and use the waves better, work on tighter bottom turns, and take your first steps into strapless riding. On your waveboard, the ocean becomes an endless classroom – as Felix always says: “You want to send the wave back into the ocean.” Plenty of work to do!
