A 180 front turn and landing with your back facing the kite.
How do it
It's a bit tricky and requires some flexibility. First you have to learn how to ride in blind and control kite with 2 hands.
1.
Go into blind.
2.
Keep kite at 1/11 o'clock.
3.
Steer the kite back. And lean back to edge harder.
4.
Wait when it would go up to 12 o'clock. Pop off the water and initiate the rotation by looking over your former back shoulder.
5.
During rotation keep your body compact and pull your front hand hard.
6.
When you completed the rotation, straighten legs a bit and stop rotation.
7.
On the landing bend your knees to absorb the impact, point nose of the board downwind.
