Tabletop is an advanced kitesurfing technique that has both some similarities and some differences when compared to the rest of the kitesurfing tricks / techniques.
Tabletop is a very complex trick and, unless you are a professional kitesurfer, you will have to spend some time practicing before you can master the tabletop technique. However, your practice will definitely pay off, since tabletop is a very impressive trick.
To perform the tabletop trick effectively, the kitesurfer will need to follow the following steps. Tabletop is a trick is performed high enough in the air. That means that the kitesurfer will need to achieve the necessary speed and power is to jump (fly) high in the air. Next, the kite surfer jumps in the air. The first step that is taken to execute the tabletop technique is to move your body forward so your head is approximately 135 degrees and your kiteboard is approximately 315 degrees to the perpendicular (to the water) line, with zero degrees being the water level.
The next step for the tabletop technique is to spin the back of the kiteboard in such a way that it performs a circular 270 degrees rotation in the forward direction. After that is done, the kitesurfer will need to move the back of the kite oard back in the original position. In other word, the same 270 degrees rotation needs to be performed, just in the opposite direction.
Both the rotation in the forward direction and the rotation in the backward direction need to be completed in such a way that the kite board turns parallel to the water line. After these tabletop technique steps are performed, the kitesurfer will need to land in a forward position going in the same direction.
