Kiteboard Backflip from Toeside (+ pops from toeside)

This tutorial looks at the backflip. Specifically this is a popped, toeside-to-toeside backroll. This tutorial also covers how you can build up to this trick, covering toeside pops, and toeside backrolls with the kite high.

Aa a person who's taught adventure activities for many years, I completely respect the simplicity of the this coaching style. Less, really is more. Great content, explanation and filming 🙏👌

[@Ronagery]

maybe The most stylish hooked in trick. Thx for the video.

[@lordlouis2168]

Even so many years later, the investment of time you've put into these tutorials is completely appreciated. Many thanks, Sir. And one of these days I'll get down to SA and get some real time tutorials!

[@JoeSmith69]

That was shot at my favourite kite spot!

[@yehudaweiss5061]

Where?

[@ranzohar4460]

Doing the same trick landing heel side is also fun, would have liked to see some of those in the video as well.

[@Druimmer]

I did that by accident when i was trying the toeside backroll and i was like, '' how did i end up on my heels? thats not how it should work'' Xd

[@AscendedBeing87]

you mean doing a frontflip?

[@freddydad1]

Great move!

[@nedster63]

Toeside backroll. Good tutorial. A way to keep your edge and release more pop is to kick your front foot away kicking down into the water.

[@michaelabarcab]

This is a inverted backroll or backflip .

[@Alext146]

Guys! Which spot is that? Cool video! Thanks!

[@andrasgefferth968]

I am confident at riding toeside, but unable to give it the additional strong edge and can't do a decent pop. Board hardly leaves the water. Is it bad technique or lack of muscles? During toeside ride I feel a lot of pressure in my back leg and it feels like impossible to add some more pressure for the edge. I don't have this issue while doing the heelside pop.

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hi Andras, that's probably the biggest road block for most people. I can't say for sure without seeing your toeside riding but most likely you need to turn away form the kite and lean over the toeside edge to apply more toeside pressure (probably on the front and back foot), and also probably add more speed. Are you producing much spray from your board while riding toeside? If you have decent speed and toeside pressure then there should be plenty of spray shooting off the board (see 0:48). Good luck Andras. All the best, Alex

[@andrasgefferth968]

@@kitesurfcollege Hi Alex, thanks for the quick reply. I'll try these next time I get to the water.

[@AscendedBeing87]

I have an Wakeboard backround and this Trick is called Bell Air in wakeboaring. Also it looks very much like an Tantrum. Can you call it Tantrum or Bell Air in kiteboaring aswell?

[@Iamnickteixeira]

Nope

[@michaelabarcab]

Tantrum and Bell air are from heelside

[@ignaciosernacampillo9527]

Is there a backflip without toside? Or is that just a back roll?

[@kitesurfcollege]

Good day Ignacio. The backflip from toeside shown in this video is actually a backroll in kiting. It's a popped backroll, launching from toeside and landing toeside, with an invert of the body. That's not a very catchy title of course. And yes, you can do this from heelside, although it's a bit harder, and then it would technically be a front roll.

[@ignaciosernacampillo9527]

@@kitesurfcollege thanks for the info!

[@fredfeuerstein7706]

hey, would u recommend it to learn it with an big kite like an 15 caus no steering is required?

[@michaelabarcab]

Is a Inverted backroll from toeside . Not a toeside backroll.

[@michaelabarcab]

Perhaps a toeside tantrum ?

[@markusseitle3740]

is this similar to a bel air on the cable?

[@michaelabarcab]

Yeah but bell air is from heelside backflip one handed. Bell air is not from toeside. 👍

[@michaelabarcab]

I can do it with a kite backloop too

[@niekvanwensen]

Is it like doing an olie on a snowboard

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hello Niek. I don't think it's very similar. You use a lot of pressure on your toes & toeside rail for this, and a snowboard ollie you use a lot of tail pressure but ride the board pretty flat, not much heel or toe edge.

[@niekvanwensen]

Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks oh ok thanks👍

[@kitesurfcollege]

@@niekvanwensen you can do it. Learn to pop from toeside first. Then try the toeside back flip with the kite slightly high to reduce the risk. You'll get there.

[@jesielpiacente9793]

Lo podrian explicar en español ?

[@thomaszahradnik717]

Isn't this a hooked in tantrum, or also known as ...?

[@kitesurfcollege]

Thomas Zahradnik yes, I think the backflip movement is very similar to a wake board tantrum. Although, I think a tantrum is a back flip from heelside?

[@speckdratz]

Kite-Surf-College Tutorials and Tricks A Tantrum in wakeboarding is a heelside backflip using a kicker. When doing a toeside backflip without a kicker it's usually referred to as Bel Air. Yeah. Somebody decided it would be nice to give every trick a different name 😂

[@michaelabarcab]

@@kitesurfcollegetantrum is a and one handed backflip (inverted backroll) from heelside .
