Kiteboarding Camp- Do a Heelside Carve Transition

While riding heelside, hop a frontside 180 to toeside (rotate trailing foot forward) prior to your transition. If you aren’t already comfortable riding toeside, get that down first. Once you are ready to make your transition, bring the kite back toward neutral and into the opposite direction. As you make this transition with the kite, release the weight off your toes and steer the board downwind (as the kite reaches neutral). In one motion, put your weight on your heel edge and power the kite in the opposite direction, and you will be headed back with a clean transition.
