Every day for 3 months I'm practicing boardoffs and while I can land one footers say 70% of the time as soon as I take both feet out I cannot find body position or balance to get the board back on. It seems in the videos that the jump is taken just before 12 oclock so you have some forward momentum and the body is turned away from the kite slightly after the board is off sort of like if you were to do a partial back roll making it easy to turn toward the kite for board "on" , balance, and landing. Am I on the right path? Did I observe correctly? I've been sending the kite to 12 to attempt the trick and I've noticed that its nearly impossible to land or get balance if the kite moves slightly past 12 and I have nearly no speed landing if the jump is at 12. At first I've practiced one footers with grabbing the handle but I've got no reach to get my front foot in with this method so I'm now practicing with the tail grab one footers with some success. My issue is balance. Any tips or videos would be greatly appreciated.
Would anyone recommend one footers with front foot out for practice?
Ideally I would like to use the handle for board offs but if progression is easier with the tail then so be it.
