Do your turns natural foot at the back. ie on your heel one tack switching pre turn, & on your toes the other tack switching post turn. Always move your rear foot up to meet the front foot toe to toe & then move the old front foot back. Practice on flat water is helpful. It needs to be a quick but smooth movement. Kite should be turned aggressively ahead of your carve and from low down to keep it powered as you are moving downwind. Look for some sort of face to bank against. Your rear foot should be snug against the kick of the pad for any turning for sensitivity of control and a more aggressive carve. After you've done a thousand you'll have 100% confidence.
Good luck

It doesn't really matter whether you switch feet before or after the turn. Whatever works for you is fine. I am more comfortable left foot forward so I do a toeside carve then switch, or a switch then do a heel side carve going the other way.

As far as switching your feet goes, rule number 1 is to always have your weight pushing down through the middle of the board. The vast majority of people have way too much weight on their back foot when kiting, particularly on directionals. Load up the front foot then trim with the back foot.

You bring your back foot up to near your front foot. Transfer the weight to that foot, then move the old front foot back.

When it's perfect you can do it as a single, smooth motion. Sometimes you need to dab the foot you are moving back to keep stable.

Don't try too hard to get your feet into the straps. You can deal with that when you're established on the new tack ... or not use them at all. My front foot automatically slides under the strap and the back foot goes somewhere on the deck.

You can do two things to practice goot switching. One is to ride downwind and practice having both feet up around the middle of the board, slightly offset. You can do little heel/toe carves.

The other thing is to imagine a line going down through your body, through your front foot, then up in a straight line through the chicken loop and the front lines all the way to the kite. If you master that then you will never fall when you are moving your feet around.

The other factor is the width of your board. A kite surf board needs to be about 19+" wide to be stable. If your board is down around 17-18" it will be wobbley. You can still swap feet but it's not as easy as a wide board.

^^^Just what they said and pactice. I do exactly that as explained, I didn't set out to do it that way it just sort of developed that way, so it must be the easiest way.

I have been going through the same learning curve using a surfboard, and I found this article from seabreeze reall helpfull.I'm now getting about half of them successful now!

Try carving a little upwind slow the board just before you switch feet - kind of like you do when you boost on a twin tip. At the same time fly the kite over to the other side and switch feet as the kite goes over head. The trick is to commit to the gybe. The kite goes B4 the feet switch.

Thank you for all the great tips. I did mistype. I'm 110 Kgs. I seem to have two problems. 1. I loose almost All board speed while I am trying to switch. 2. I'm not getting the board to follow the kite w a good carve. It seems like I can't turn the board because of no speed. I can do the Heelside carve over to Toeside and switch then pretty good. It's not pretty but I get it done. It's the kiting Heelside then attempting to switch my feet to Toeside Before my turn so after the carve I'm riding Heelside. I ride a Custom 6' 5 Surf that's 23 in wide.

Thx for the input already and anymore is welcome. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
