HOW TO : kitefoil water start !!!

Here is some sound advice for a water start on your Kite Foil: Step 1 : Position the Kite in the zenith to facilitate putting your feet in the foot straps of the Board. Send the Kite in to 2 or 10 O’clock as you would for a classic water start. Step 2 : As you send the Kite, put some light pressure on the Bar, this will help you lift yourself up. Step 3 : Push on the Board while keeping crouched. Step 4 : Your body weight should be over the front foot to facilitate the take off and for keeping the Board solidly on the water. Step 5 : Once up, let your Board pick up some speed, heading slightly downwind and by subtly jockeying the Kite towards 1 or 11 O’clock. Step 6 : With speed the Foil will rise by himself. If not push slightly on the back foot to bring him up. Step 7 : There you go, you’re flying. Now all you got to do is weave the spot.
