If you already know how to do ollie with nose grab, hand flip is easy progression. All magic happends in the end of the jump.

1.Get comfortable speed and kite high (at 1.), back hand in the middle of the bar. Front hand low ready to grab the board and bend your knees.

2.Pop the board and grab it on the nose. While doing that pull on bar to get lift and move over 12 oclock. and enjoy your jump 😉

3.When you can spot your landing, it’s time to start with flip. Move your hand/wrist forward and release the board to make it flip before landing on the watter. Try to throw it where you think you will land.

4.Land on the board and keep moving the kite to keep tension. You may also loop it to have more power to ride of the trick. Hand flip is easy trick and with little practise you may add it to your other tricks like transitions or back and front rolls.

So keep practicing and good luck.
