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 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.
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.
06.02 Drainage
The drainage system ensures that water or dirt are automati-
cally removed from the kite. The kite has to be turned upright onto
its side. Try to achieve this by pulling on one steering line. Try to
prevent the upper wingtip from collapsing.
The excessive water/dirt should now flow out of the tip until
it is ready to be launched again.
