1. Bring your kite up high and edge hard upwind
2. Pull on your back hand
3. Position your stance further back than usual
4. Push hard on your back foot and turn the board directly into the wind.
5. You may need to sheet out your kite a bit
6. Send your kite gently in the opposite direction
7. Switch feet by shuffling, just like you would in a normal gybe
8. Send your kite aggressively now and point the board downwind so you don’t sink into the water (looping the kite will force you to commit to the maneuver)
HINT: Nail down each step before moving onto the next.
