07.01 Reactivating the kite
After leashing out, the kite can easily be reset on the water and
relaunched again.
Work your way up the Safety-Endline until you get to the
control bar. Be careful not to get tangled in the loose endline.
When you reach the bar, secure the endline to your harness
hook. This is done by wrapping the side of the endline which is
under tension two times around the harness hook and then the
loose side one time in the opposite direction.
Now the quick release can be reset with both hands.
Let the chicken loop go and unwrap the endline. Make sure
you have a good grip on the endline as you hook in the chicken
loop and secure it with the chicken dick.
Slowly release the endline bit by bit. Make sure that it has
not wrapped itself around any part of your body. Do not let the
endline slip too quickly through your fingers as to avoid getting
burns or cuts. Because of this, it is recommended that you let go
of the entire endline when you get to the last two meters.
Attach the safety leash to a suitable object (e.g. a post or
a board tightly buried in the sand) and work your way up to the
kite a.s.a.p.
Secure the kite as described in “Securing the Kite“.
07 SAFETY SYSTEM
The SOUL kites are designed to work with the FrontLine
Safety (FLS) system. After you activate your quick release, the
control bar will slide up until it reaches the stopper-knot.
The kite will flag out on this single front line and will come
to rest on the water in its normal windrange.
