Kitesurfing Tutorial: Front Roll (Aggressive)

This trick is not the usual forward roll or front roll where you make a big jump with the kite with rotation. This trick sets the kite at between 45 to 60 degrees the whole time making the trick fast and aggressive. This is like Hooked Raley with a body rotation. The landing can be pretty hard because the kite pulls you forward instead of upward. If you unhook with this trick, it is called S-Bend.
Keypoints:
1. Lots of board speed.
2. Lots of kite power angle at 45 to 60 degrees the whole time.
3. Aggressive body rotation.
Step 1. Bear down wind to get lots of board speed
Step 2. Edge very hard upwind to load energy in your legs
Step 3. Once you pop off the water, immediate aggressively throw your body towards your front shoulder. Then looking over your back shoulder to start the rotation. Keep looking over your shoulder to maintain the rotation and spot your landing.
Step 4. On landing keep your board flat and absorb your knees on impact.
Step 5. Ride off and unwind your the bar.
