I think that comment about keeping some front hand pressure is something I’ve missed with this. Been trying to attempt back rolls for past two years and finally landed one (just) today but then just kept crashing my kite. Last few attempts were not successful but I pulled on my front hand as I took off and no kite loop or kite crashing into the water. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some more success.
I was the same, just landed my first yesterday by taking my backhand off completely and just doing the roll with only my front hand, was stuck for ages sending the kite into a loop from backhand pressure
@@SamLight cheers mate, I did finally have a few goes. Not sure my kite appreciates what I'm trying to do. I keep taking my front hand off (maybe because I think I'm going to crash) and obviously the kite goes round the loop. Should I just aim for a small jump the add the rotation, or am I trying to carve up into the move. I think I just have myself a bit wound up about it.
Hi Sam, I got a few shots of you today at Gwithian. Have a look at my channel, just uploaded a quick edit. You can have a couple of shots if you want to use them. (Note - I shot it all in slow-mo, but they mostly play back in regular speed in my quick edit.)
Thanks Sam for a really nice simple explanation :) Maybe I'll try it again (this time without the unplanned kiteloop!)
Awesome ! I’m a newbie here in Miami Fl . Thanks for all your vids ! Love then
Nice quick video! Thanks

Hi sam atm I’m learning how to kite surf and I have got lessons and I’ve been watching u and u have helped me so much
Hey Ben, thats great to hear, keep up the practice! Cheers
Sam Light thank u
Great vid, clearly explained
Thank you! Please more of This!!
Another fantastic video 🙏🏼🤙
Glad you enjoyed it
Sam Light still waiting for you to upload a video about the pre load pop for advanced boosting 🤙
Can u do a video of how to foot out please?
Best tip not many people knows is to take back hand off bar and only keep front hand, this will prevent you from unintended kiteloop
Landed my first backrolls today, been kiting for 2 months and ten days and hit it on my like 6th try? Now can do them semi consistently
Yewwww
Brilliant, thank you for this. Will report back.
Bottled it, just can’t seem to get comfortable to go for it.
Just go for it! Once you have a few crashes you realise it doesn't hurt, just keep your hands close to the centre of the bar

Another good tip : look over your front shoulder while airborne
