Hello! I’m Francisco Escudero here in Miami, Florida. If you want to learn more about kite land boarding, go to www.skybanditz.com. So now, we have our bar setup here, and all we do since there’s not a lot of wind and this is just for practice, we have it setup in a palm tree just so we can get some balance and we can lean into it. What we’re going to do now is just going to figure out the different stances, your preferred stances. Some people are goofy footers; some people are regular footed. Goofy footer, all that it means is you’re a right handed person that rides with your power leg, which is your left. In theory, you should have your power leg to the right. A regular stance is just that you have the same hand that you have as your power; you’re going to use the same leg. Basically, I’m going to hop on my land board and I’m just going to do different stances. You could always do this, which is called going toe side. You can always do it this way; that looks good. You can go toe side the other way.
