06.01 Reverse Launch

Grab the leader lines above the ﬂoaters as high up as you can.

Make sure that the bar is the right way up. Do not cross over your

hands.

Pull in both leader-lines as far towards yourself as possible

to reverse the kite o the ground. Strong pulls or pumping the

lines may help in light winds. If the kite does not release from

the ground, grab the leader lines higher up.

When the kite is at least one wingspan above the ground,

let go of one of the leader lines. Make sure you keep hold of the

other one and the bar is in the right position.

The kite will now spin around. As soon as the leading edge

of the kite points up let go of the remaining leader line and put

your hand back on the bar. Depower the kite till its back in the

sky towards the zenith.

Tip:

The reverse launch is the recommended relaunch method

when kiting on solid terrain. This minimises potential damage

from abrasion.

06.02 One Line Relaunch

Grab one steering line high above the ﬂoater. Pull back the

line far enough towards you so that the kite starts to peel to the

side you are pulling. Keep pulling until the kite launches at the

edge of the wind window.

If the kite does not lift up and peel to one side when pulling the

leader line, try pulling the opposite leader instead. If this still

does not work, then use the reverse launch method.

Let go of the steering line as soon as the leading edge of the

kite points up. Grab the bar and keep it depowered until the kite

is ﬂying again.
