Was at my local spot today, 18 - 25 knots on my 10.5m ion3. Crusing into shore and thought I'd just backroll transition and head back out. All was going well until I popped just as the wind gusted. The move that followed was applauded by those on the beach and my mates when they stopped laughing.

Start the backroll and pop to fully stretched Inverted Ralley with kite loop which leads to inverted Bitchslap. Kite continues to loop pulling you into traditional fully stretched Ralley then Bitchslaps you again. As kite loops again and pulls you into the air release the safety and land on your feet in about 3 feet of water. Turn to the onlookers and bow as they cheer and wave in awe at the stupid man with the big kite.

Kiting.... There is no substitute....

Quick, give it a name...
Otherwise Hadlow et al will nick it and it will become that 'must do' move of next year !!!
And I think you really should have tried to finish off wrapped to blind !!!
Main thing is you are laughing about it !!!
