How to

1. 1

   Edge and send

   Edge hard and send the kite from 11 or 1 o'clock up to 12 o'clock as you pop.

2. 2

   Stop the kite at 12

   Level the bar so the kite stops around 12 o'clock instead of drifting on to the new side.

3. 3

   Turn on the way down

   When you start to descend, turn your head and shoulders to look downwind toward your landing.

4. 4

   Steer the kite down

   Steer the kite down toward the new direction so it pulls you out of the landing.

5. 5

   Land on the new tack

   Touch down tail first with the board pointing slightly downwind and carve onto your new edge.

Common mistakes

• Turning your head early

  →Wait until you start descending so the kite does not drift across the window.

• Looking back for the kite

  →Look downwind at your landing so you do not land on an edge.

• Kite left at 12

  →Steer the kite down to the new side as you come down so it gives you power to ride away.
