Kitesurf Backhand Barrels

I just love grabbing rail and pulling into tubes on my backhand. I think there’s a massive advantage with grabbing your rail, you can get yourself in a really tight little ball and you can push through and fit in the tiniest of sections. It also gives you the opportunity to lock into your board and maintain control and composure throughout tight parts of the wave.
Probably the biggest difference between getting barreled surfing opposed to kiting is that surfing barrels you’re not restricted by the kite at all, so you tend to be able to stay in the barrels and have a lot more control, whereas kite assisted barrels tend to be shorter and basically ‘get in and get out’ before you’ve really stuck the kite.

Any technique to slowing down in the barrel backside? Because bar is in your hand next to wave.
