Daniel Anderson demonstrates the timeless wakestyle trick, the railey. It's a classic, adds heaps of style to your riding and is easier than it looks, so don't be intimidated.

You can do raileys hooked-in, just ignore the instructions about unhooking and hooking back in. Hooked-in you will never get the same flick to your body position, though.

Practice your unhooked riding by pulling on your depower strap, riding towards your kite to reduce the tension in the lines and unhook. Ride along for a while keeping your hips in towards the bar so you don't kill your back, then when you want to hook back in again carve towards your kite, grab the chicken loop and hook back in.

The more powered you do these tricks the easier it is to get your legs over your head - and it often makes it easier to get them back under your body for the landing too! You'll have more time, but start underpowered and gradually introduce more power and entry speed to achieve a railey as powered as Dan's here!

• For good technique and execution of wake-style tricks you need to go into them with enough speed, so that when you edge and pop you create tension in the lines, which will spring you up and towards the kite. So the first thing you should practice is bearing off downwind, edging and releasing. If you look at the fourth shot of this sequence, you'll see the board is vertical; popping properly like this will give you more height and time in the air for your trick. • Just before you initiate your pop, unhook. You don't need to unhook any earlier. • Bear off downwind a little to increase your speed. Keep your kite at 45 degrees and your hands in the middle of the bar to avoid unwanted steering of the kite. Keep your elbows in close to your hips and the bar close.

• Edge hard and release. This trick is all in the release: if you do this right your legs will fly up over your head seemingly without even trying. Relax your body after popping and let the pull from the kite naturally flick your legs up and pull your arms out straight.

• As you reach the mid section you'll be stretched out, start to feel less pull in the bar and gravity kick in. Look for your landing spot.

• As you come into land, bring your legs underneath you by pulling the bar towards your leading hip. Your legs will come down as a result of pulling the bar. Keep focused on your landing.

• Point the board downwind and get ready to absorb your landing by keeping your knees bent.

• Ride away downwind and hook back in as soon as you can to conserve energy. There's still lots more riding to be done!

PROBLEMS: • If you're having trouble unhooking, there's either too much power because it's too windy and you haven't depowered your kite before unhooking, or you're edging against the kite too much. Ride towards your kite and stand more upright so you don't create any unnecessary pull in the bar.

PROBLEMS: • It can be hard to hook back in if you're really powered. A good tip is to grab hold of the chicken loop and let the bar go, so you can hook in with the kite depowered. Be careful not to lose the bar though!
