When first trying to ride blind, begin by riding with your dominant foot forward. You will also want to be hooked into your harness line or chicken loop. To get into the blind position you will need to pop a small backside 180 (trailing foot rotates backward). As you pop your 180, transfer all your weight from your old leading foot to your new trailing foot in order to edge. The key is to get comfortable transferring your weight this way. Be sure to keep your kite powered and prepared for having to steer your kite without looking at it. This can be tricky at first, but when you get it you will have it forever.
