a.k.a. Rotating Backflip and Turtle Spin
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.

TP-USA Tricks Party Definition Group 3
The LAZY SUSAN is a single 360° rotation entered from the TURTLE position. 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.

Description
While the kite is in a Turtle, the kite rotates on its back for 360 degrees with the lines laying over the bottom spreaders throughout the rotation.Execution
Primary Execution
Flip the kite into a Turtle and give input on one of the lines to generate a rotation. This will start a rotation while the kite is 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.
