• Ride along with the kite in it’s normal riding position. Too high and it will lift you off the board and too low and it will be hard to carve the board upwind and start the trick. I find it easiest to place my rear hand around the centre line of the kite to avoid inadvertently pulling the kite backwards in the window.
• Dropping your front hand off the bar opens up your body and gives you more room to make the move.
• Your front foot should be in it’s normal riding position pointing slightly forward with the toes more or less over the centre line of the board. Bring your back foot backwards and as much towards the rail of the board as you can.
