Hooked Backroll
For many kiters, the hooked backroll is their first real kite trick to master. It’s easy to learn and you don’t rip yourself apart and together if you fail and crash, so the hooked backroll is a good trick for beginners. So, how do you perform it? Easy, just do like this:
- Keep your kite at 45 degrees and enter the trick with moderate speed and power.
- Edge very hard and pop out of the water and throw your feet at the sky above your shoulder.
- Just as you come of the water turn your head and try to look over your shoulder in the direction of the spin.
- Keep looking over your shoulder until you spot the water.
- focus on the spot where you want to land.
- Bend your knees, point the board downwind and land.
- Continue your ride!
Tips! Keep looking over your shoulder, if you stop looking you will stop spinning. Keep your hands in the middle of the bar. Stay relaxed, if you spin to hard, it is going to be very hard to land without slipping out. At first if you cannot get the full rotation, then try to bring the kite lower.
