This is a more advanced technique and you should be familiar with basic techniques before proceeding to this one. You will need to practice following steps (down wind body drag technique). First of all, step in water and get underway with your kite. Try to use power of your kite to body drag yourself across water area. Practice 8 shape patterns and sine wave patterns on left and right sides, landing your kite and launching it. The upwind body dragging kitesurfing techniques are analogous to down wind body drag technique. The only difference is that you will need to position your kite at right or left side of wind screen and keep one of your hands beneath water.
