Make sure the kite is still secured
from blowing away by some sand on
the trailing edge. Grab the wrist leash
and attach it to your wrist. Now grab
your bar.
Stand at the position so your flying
lines are at about 45 degrees to the
wind direction. The more you launch
your kite directly downwind, the
more power the kite will produce
when launching.

Check again if the area is clear of
people. Slowly take a few steps back.
You will see the leading edge rise and
the sand will fall from the trailing
edge of the kite.
You can stop walking when the kite
launches.
If there is sufficient wind, the kite will
start flying to the zenith.
When you are confident with the
wind conditions, you can hook in the
harness loop
(3-line traction kite only).

As an alternative to the self-launch,
you may also ask someone to hold the
kite by the leading edge, so it is ready
to fly off.
Stand at the position so your flying
lines are at about 45 degrees to the
wind direction. First let the kite fill
with air, and check that you are ready
to launch. Signal your helper.
