As you bring the kite back through the vertical (12:00) flatten the board a little & load your back foot so the tail slides out ... This will become your new front foot ... Edge again & ease on the power as you carve upwind.

when you push you back foot away you will get slippery until going the other direction, Then you will dig your heals in again and still be on your back edge.
Turn kite before you push back foot away.
once you are going the other direction get you heal edge in again.

Try IV early tomorrow afternoon if the model holds, watch for bump up in wind speed around 2-4. Cheers
