This allows you to control the pull of the wing:
As a general rule, the rear hand is your accelerator pedal. The more you pull the wing in with your back hand ("pull tight"), the more traction the wing builds up. Conversely, if you let go with your back hand or even release it completely from the handle, the wing will hover almost powerlessly in a neutral position.
Check the wing's altitude:
You can also control the height of the wing with your back hand. If you push the strut upwards with your back hand, the leading edge of the wing will come down towards the water or beach. If the wing is flying too low and the lower wing tip is already dragging in the water or sand, pull the strut downwards with your back hand - this will cause the leading edge of the wing to rise upwards again immediately. If you were to imagine the strut as the hand of a clock, it would be at about 10:00 in the normal riding position (or 2:00 when travelling in the other direction) - the leading edge of the wing would therefore always point slightly upwards.
