Fly Backwards

Keep the wing off the ground, backwards.

Everything is in reverse. Brakes make the wing go up, As make it go down.

There is no sharknose on the trailing edge, so you can only go up so far.

Success: 1 min up

Just a short clip of one of my favorite things - side kiting up the bottom of the dune, sending the wing into a tailslide kite, going downwind with that, and then turning it over (the hardest part!) cleanly and launching.

Side kite diagonal up the bottom of the dune, transitioning to tailslide kite. Using tailslide to climb to the top of the dune, flipping it over and launching.
