Riding Blind

From Wiki

Description

Riding backwards.

1. Medium speed, kite at 45°

2. Pop off the water

3. Rotate with upper body

4. Look at your toes

5. Point the board downwind

6. Weight over toes on back foot

when you pop off the water, have only one hand on the bar (front hand)
grab the bar in the center, or even a bit on the other side of to be able to steer the kite a bit higher. If you keep the hand on the same position, you are likely to steer the kite down into the water
when you rotate your body, make sure to completely twist your upper body, so the lower body follows it and you really rotate your 180°
once riding backwards, make sure to put your body weight on the back foot and edge by leaning forward towards the water
