RELAUNCH
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.
05.02 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.
05 RELAUNCH
05.01 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 water. Strong pulls or pumping the
lines may help in light winds. If the kite does not release from
the water, grab the leader lines higher up.
When the kite is at least one wingspan above the water, 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.
