How to

1. 1

   Set up like a frontroll

   Ride with speed and good line tension, kite at 11 or 1 o'clock, and carve as you would before a frontroll.

2. 2

   Release the back hand

   Release your back hand and hold the bar at the centre with your front hand.

3. 3

   Cut the nose in

   Carve the front of the board in so the back edge catches and loads hard.

4. 4

   Head back, knee up

   Bend your front knee, throw your head back and tighten your abs so the board flips straight above your head, and learn it over deep water in moderate wind.

5. 5

   Spot and land

   Find the landing, put your back hand back on the bar and land with the board pointing downwind.

Common mistakes

• Slack lines

  →Keep the kite steady and the lines tense through the carve so the edge has something to pop against.

• Pulling on the bar

  →Keep the front hand at the centre of the bar so the kite stays steady.

• Under-rotating the flip

  →Commit with your head and pull your knees up with your abs until you see the water.
