My absolute go to pre kitesurf snack has to be a modified Bulletproof Coffee.
For people that do well on fats like myself this keeps you mentally focused and gives you all the energy to blast straight through any session.
I’m not going to go into all the benefits and science here as I cover that in other posts, just give it a try and you’ll know pretty quickly if it’s for you or not.
The “Never Come Down” BP Coffee Variant!
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Organic Cacao Powder (this can be substituted for coffee I just prefer the buzz that good cacao gives me)
1 Tbsp MCT Oil – I use Brain Octane by Bulletproof…but I’d recommend you experiment and see what works for you as different people react differently to MCT’s. IMPORTANT if this is your first time using MCT start with a tsp (rather than a Tbsp) and build up over time.
1/2 Tbsp Collagen Protein (preferably from grass fed bovine, there are also many vegetarian options)
1 Tbsp Organic Coconut Cream
Mix it together in a blender add just boiled (but not boiling water) and blend thoroughly.
Get out kitesurfing and rock it like NEVER before.
Awesome edit of what must have been a great session…

Over the years I’ve noticed that most people stall at the same points during their kitesurfing progression and most of these stall points could be eliminated by a few simple things done before they even got to the beach. These points are so common I made a PDF file detailing them all.
If you want me to send you the PDF just enter your email below.
How Easy Are These To Do?
I made sure these are so simple that anyone can do them and they can be done in your living room.
So if you want to download a PDF with all 5 ways to improve you kitesurfing and then regular information to improve your kitesurfing when you’re on and off the water, enter your email below.
