This kiteboarding tutorial will teach you 3 techniques to slow down & come to a controlled stop.
How To Slow Down Kiteboarding, 3 Steps to a Controlled Stop:
1) Bring your kite Higher to slow down
2) Edge Hard and steer your board upwind
3) Sheet out slowly as your kite comes up to 12, you should be coming to a controlled stop.
-Hips & Shoulders back, your upper body should not be leaning over in front of the board. (resist the forward pull of the kite)

Using a combination of all 3 will help you to slow down under control, from here you can manage your speed to continue riding, change directions with a transition, or come to a complete controlled stop.

Choosing the right kite size is really the first step in the ability to manage your speed. It's much easier to come to a controlled stop without crashing or getting pulled off your board when you are not overpowered.
