LAUNCHING
Put the flying lines under tension so that the kite rises slow-
ly. Take another step to windward to release the weight from the
trailing edge of the kite.
Depower the kite until it reaches the zenith.
As soon as the kite is inflated and you are ready, give the
assistant the thumbs up signal that he can let go. Make sure to
once again check whether all lines run freely before doing this.
Note:
Get aligned with the wind, the assistant retains his posi-
tion and is not moving around.
05.03 Powerzone
Important:
Only start a kite in the power zone in light wind,
otherwise it can develop large forces/power spikes. Always
keep a large safety distance downwind of yourself.
After setting up the kite in the power zone make sure to
weigh the trailing edge with suitable objects or sucient sand
or snow.
