I fear that once i get down there I might never back up.
It is possible, but even if I have done it a few times I normaly don't care and am to lazy as it just cost some force and can be a bit dangerous, so normaly I just drop and restart. For me even more important would be: learn jibes sitting, so you can sit down, relaxe and full manouver for hours and no need to stand up. And jibes are not to difficult just turn in rodeo position and remember to well stear kite overhead first, there is no danger to try this till it works.
Sitting on foil is realy great fun and for me nearly most important reason to ride stabi foils, try to folow these steps, which show the overall potential:
1. Try to sit down during various positions (I prefer when switched or directly start flying foil from sitting)
2. Try to slalom and to turn around from side position to rodeo and back again.
3. Try to jibe
4. Try to jump out of rodeo and if you can do boardoffs maybe land it standing up (haven't done this succesfully but shouldn't be to hard)
5. Try to do flying 360 and then flying tacks
6. Now you are ready to become a "Caneri Man" so do it
All time relaxed foiling.
