Thanks so much.

He goes over that in the video, pay particular attention to "grabbing the top line" part. I would watch it a few more times if necessary to bring his process into clear focus. It goes without saying (again) to practice this in light winds with a large clear downwind buffer. Also, I would say this is a more advanced technique and would not suggest that newer kiters try it until they have spent quite a bit of time launching, landing, riding, etc..
