The trick begins with a ((TURTLE)) (belly up, nose away from the pilot), from which the kite rotates 360° with the lines remaining over the trailing edges during the entire rotation. The trick must be entered and exited nose-up. Compare ((ROLLING SUSAN)). + KEY ELEMENTS: ►Nose-up entry and exit. ►Flat rotation.^ !! Description

!!! Primary Execution
- Fl
+ Fly the kite stright up. Then pop both lies and give lots of slack. so the kite enters the ((Turtle)) position. Then pop one of the lines to generate a rotation with the kite on it's back. Pull the kite out of the ((Turtle)) position after one rotation. The further downwards the nose points while in a ((Turtle)) the less gentle it is required to be to initiate the rotation. Some kites that do not sit deeply in a ((Turtle)) may require a more aggresive movement into the ((Turtle)) to temporarily place the nose deep, but those kites can also be set into a shallow ((Turtle)) and softly rotated.
You should take care that while rotating the kite doesn't pick up the lines with it's wing tips. The way to do it is to immediately release both lines after the gentle pull which enables the lines to lay in the cheeks of the kite. Kites that float easily will love this trick.
