Hey all.
How do you control the kite when you go to do a number of spins?
Just after takeoff I direct my board to start spinning, but after one 360, I can't really control my kite and it always crashes in the water taking me with it (sometimes hard!) I tried holding my hands in the middle of the bar so that directing won't be too severe, but to no avail :(
I can boost relatively high now (for me anyway) and want to get dizzy!!!!

try holding the bar in the centre but with your front hand only and do a tale grab with you back hand. i find this stears the kite slowley back down in front of you perfectly for the landing. or if you still want to use 2 hands on the bar try putting your back hand in the centre and and your front hand halfway between the centre and the end of the bar or what i find works if im useing a fast small kite in decent wind is its eazyer to just kiteloop the dam thing. also i think you might be sending the kite too far back so try not sending the kite as far back and try and use your legs more to get the boost.

Also try to crank your front hand down when your about 270 degrees through the rotation its defiantly helps
