Kitesurf trick

No-Hand Frontroll

Intermediate
  • Jump
  • Rotation

A frontroll where you let go of the bar with both hands for the whole rotation and catch it again before landing. It shows you can trust your kite position and makes your frontroll look much cleaner.

How to

  1. Set the stopper

    Before you go, slide the stopper ball down so the bar stays near the sweet spot when you let go.

  2. Pop and let go

    Pop off a solid edge with the kite around 11 or 1 o'clock and let go of the bar with both hands as you leave the water.

  3. Generate the spin

    Start the rotation from your pop and shoulders, since you have no bar to steer it.

  4. Look over your shoulder

    Look over your back shoulder to keep rotating and spot the landing.

  5. Catch and land

    Take the bar back at the centre just before touchdown and land heading downwind.

Common mistakes

  • Bar drifting away

    Set the stopper ball low so the bar stays close and the kite keeps its power.

  • No rotation

    Start the spin with your pop and shoulders before you let go.

  • Late catch

    Reach for the bar as you come round so you have it before your feet touch the water.
