Kwazulu Natal GUST girl, Kathryn Clarke McLeod, takes us through the basics of a backroll. She claims that nailing this one is all about commitment. Like she says, start first in very small waves and use as a kicker, else get some pop on flat water. In this way, you avoid an expensive lesson getting your kite munched in the waves if you drop it a couple of times while practicing. If you  have any advice for getting a backroll waxed, post them here. Read Kathryn’s guide.
