Knots play a critical role in kiteboarding. If you don’t master them, sooner or later you will have problems in the water, or even launching/landing the kite.
For example, if you’re riding your kite several miles off the coast and line breaks, you should be able to make a few emergency repairs. Believe or not, in many cases, a smart knot can save your life.
But an incorrectly tied knot can also lead to unexpected and abrupt wipeouts, so make sure you know how to tie kiteboarding’s basic knots.
Watch how these knots are tied, memorize them, and train them as many times as you think you should. There are five essential knots a kiteboarder must learn.
The lark’s head knot, also known as cow hitch knot, allows kiteboarders to attach the lines to your kite. It’s simple, yet extremely effective.
The figure-of-eight knot is an easy knot used as a stopper for your lark’s head knot.
The loop-to-loop connection allows kiteboarders to attach line extensions or to replace bridle sections.
The bowline is widely considered the most useful sailing knot in the world. Kiteboarders use it to attach your chicken loop to your trim strap.
The double fisherman’s knot allows kiteboarders to join two lines, and it is especially useful if one of your lines snaps.

A kiteboarder decided to return to the waters of Brighton-Le-Sands, near Sydney, after a bull shark was spotted swimming in shallow waters.
Source: Is kiting with sharks a good idea?
Adam Cartmer and his friends spotted a bull shark swimming in shallow waters, meters away from the shoreline, and warned everyone to get out of the water.
Beachgoers and around 30 riders immediately got out of the water, including kiteboarder Pierre Olivier. But, soon after, he returned to the sea and rode his board and kite near the predator.
“You could see it wasn’t going to attack. I was near it in knee deep water. It was a little disoriented. Then it disappeared, and 30 kite surfers jumped back in the water and surfed until sunset,” explained Cartmer.
Australia has some of the most shark-infested waters in the world. In 2016, and according to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF), there were 15 unprovoked shark attacks, and two deaths involving shark attacks.
Barack is already on the board!! Wonder how long he’s been learning? Maybe in secret since he really wasn’t allowed to do extreme sports while he was president!
