Head more down wind to generate speed, toe side tends to grab a lot more edge then heelside.
Enjoy

A common problem is that you are heading downwind in the turn to early and too far and the kite has no power to pull you through the full turn. ie the kite loses a lot of power when heading downwind and often will even stop turning, leaving you half way through the movement and dead in the water.

I find that edging hard in the direction you are initially heading and turning the kite aggressively to head back the opposite way at the same time will set you up so that the turn downwind on the board and the movement of the kite across the window through the power zone happen simultanously. Heelside to toeside carves are not generally done by sending the kite overhead - keep the kite low or even do a downloop.

As a snapshot I start my turn on my board, with the kite already heading back the way you want to go and about to enter the power zone. You should then be able to bend your knees and carve hard against the pull to toe side and exit with heaps of speed.

The difficulty in this is the timing and coordination between the amount of edging and the power you get from the kite. Just like your first water starts were easier in stronger winds, you'll find the toe side transition to be much easier in stronger winds as well. Also, in general, riding toe side requires more power (stronger winds). By going too much downwind or too much upwind in the transition you might find it doesn't work either way. As mentioned in previous comments, sending the kite fast in the new direction the key, but more important is to progressively edge the board on the new toe side edge as soon as the kite starts to develop power in the new direction. It's mostly a "feel" thing that's difficult to explain as this timing and coordination will vary in almost every turn depending on kite movements, wind strength, riding speed, edging, etc.

Dragging your back hand can add stability too.




That's me on a wave that looks bigger than it is.

Thank you for all the positive info and will try to send it a bit earlier maybe at start of turn instaead of middle of turn which i have been doing.Thanks again

I had lots of trouble with this too. The thing that help me was practicing a toe to heal side carve first. I found them heaps easier. Slide to toe side and then send the kite in the other direction and carve. It's easier because you can lean back against the kite. enjoy.
