Depends if you want to send the kite or not. I do mine without sending the kite, so I rely on board pop to get myself started.
1. Park the kite relatively high to start with (as you get better, you can have it parked lower).
2. Make sure you've got enough power to comfortably pop/ollie the board off the water. If not, you'll struggle to get all the way around.
3. Load up your edge and quickly carve the board upwind, as if you were going to ollie off the water.
4. Instead of releasing the load and letting yourself get pulled up/forwards (into an ollie), keep carving and then let the board pop spin you around.
5. Throw your shoulder into it if you need more rotational power to get you around.
Try getting upside down (board above your head) as you go around. Feels great
. Made for some messed up kite loop face plant dramas. I corrected it by placeing both hands on the opposite end of the bar than the end used to initially send the kite. Sorry if that sounds confusing but it worked. Mr bonk is right though no need to send the kite to do back rolls it is also easy to do off a wave cause it works like a ramp. Learn em both and be prepared to eat sh1t
best way to learn.
