BB, congratulations, of course It sounds like a milestone and I surely know how it feels to reach one (even as of yet I am not sure what a backroll is, goes to show you how much there is ahead to learn Smile ).

Blue, here you go:

You'll find this trick and many others, narrated by Mark Shin, at http://www.kitefilm.com/eng/weeklytrick.asp

In this backloop, the kite is sent before takeoff. I was told to do the backroll without sending it. I would also suggest not sending it, as this simplifies the move.

Have fun, and don't worry, it's just water, and if you don't accidently loop your kite, you won't be moving very fast when you contact it.
