Kitesoul Magazine #10 English Edition

This is the most important point of the trick. Passing
the bar its the easy part, the tricky part is
turning the board around back to heelside.
What you have to do is move the weight of your
body from the back leg to the front leg. Doing so,
you can put a lot of pressure on that front leg so
that you can pivot around it and then go back to
heelside!
Hook back in and ride away, you have done your
first handle pass!
Key things to remember:
- Going downwind with the board is very important
to have a light pull on the bar.
- Keep the hands in the middle of the bar.
- Keep the knees bended to have a lower barycenter.
- Move weight from back leg to front leg in the
key moment.
