10. Relaunching the kite from the water
There are different ways of relaunching a FLYSURFER kite from the water.
Here we describe a few. On our homepage www.flysurfer.de you will find some
videos with further techniques for relaunching the kites.
For whom this is too complicated: The kites have three steering-lines and a pull on
one of the three lines will launch it! Only the SPEED requires a skilled rider during a
relaunch. The COOL cannot be launched from the water, because it is an open-cell
kite (without valves).
10.1. From the trailing edge
If the kite is on the water trailing edge down, simply fully depower (pull the trimmer if
necessary) and it will launch by itself.
If the wind is too strong for a power-zone start, only depower on one side and fully
pull on the other side. That way, the kite turns and you can restart it at the edge of
the wind window (chapter 10.4.).
10.2. From the leading edge
If the kite is in the water, leading edge down, you have various options to relaunch it.
Important: Don’t get tempted to turn the bar because of the crossed over flying-lines.
The green side is still on your right!
