HOW TO : re-launch you kite !!!

If your Kite is nose down in the water, leading edge on water and the Kite in full window :
Step 1 : Sit on your Board so :
– you don’t lose it and you maintain your life/floatation support.
– you can pull the Bar out of the water and see what you’re manipulating.
Let your Bar go and pull on the back lines. If the wind is weak, you will need to fill up the Kite a bit more, you will need to pull on both lines, one more than the other.
Step 2 : The Kite will progressively get itself over on the tip of the opposing end of the line your pulling more on because the action on the line will put tip in question in reverse because you are pulling on it heavily.
Step 3 : The Kite is resting on the tip of the line you’re not pulling on. Maintain the traction on the back line. If you pull too hard, the Kite will roll over and nosedive into the back edge, & if you don’t pull hard enough the Kite will fall back to where it was. This is the moment you need to be precise. Hence the necessity to be sitting on your Board out of the water. The Kite will not take off in the power zone. You will need to let it gently got into the edge of the window, but not too much. Since she rubbing against the water, it can have the tendency to nosedive if you don’t pull the tip out of the water enough. If you pull too hard she’ll fall backwards. Dosing, dosing, and more dosing!!
Step 4 : The Kite will leave the water, the water taken on will empty out. Get the Bar back in your hand without pulling it in but putting it into action without pulling on the line of the high tip. Do not power it up, if you do the Kite will fall back in the water. Dosing, dosing, dosing!!
Step 5 : You have relaunched your Kite 😉
