Tumble Turn

description

execution

Fly the kite down and out towards the wind's edge at an angle of 30 degrees. Accelerate the kite by pulling back hard on both lines simultaneously and then throw both hands far forward as the kite gets near to the ground. This move should roll the kite back by more than 90 degrees so that the back of the kite shows to the flyer and the kite is still tilted at an angle. Perform an Axel pop with the outside hand, ensuring that there is plenty of slack in the lines after the pop. Let the kite flip around to face you and then nod forward, face down and again showing the back of the kite slightly but still at an angle. Pull smoothly with both lines to recover and send the kite back up the way it came.
The whole manouvre should take place within the kite's wingspan and just above the ground for maximum effect.
