Thanks for the video. Just to mention a variation that I could call the "French Method" to launch: when walking upwind you connect the safety leash, but not the chicken loop that you simply hold by hand, and do not even touch the bar. Once there is tension in the lines, one can feel it in the hand, and if all is good in the lines then the bar will set itself automatically fine with no tension in it. In case the lines are messed up or any emergency, the only thing to do is to drop the chicken loop by opening the hand and the safety line will hold the kite. If all good then one hooks, take the bar, and launch. Since I've tried this method, launching the kite perfectly is super simple.

Thanks for your comment. This is definitely also a nice way to do it. We so often see people holding onto their bar and trying to untangle/spin the bar when all they need to do is let go and it will set itself up, this is a nice way to make sure that happens.

@@TheRiderExperience Exactly... there is absolutely no need to hold the bar before launching.

Great video - thanks for sharing. Good reminder for a rusty beginner looking forward to a new season 👌

@TheRiderExperience 3 года назад

Thanks for your feedback Paul! Yes, definitely a good reminder for both beginners and intermediate kiters not having been out on the water for a while.

Cool, but not perfect 😅 When you are walking up/downwind to find the proper position, only the leash should be attached, the must not hook your chicken at this time ! It is useless and may be dangerous if lines are not double-checked / gusty wind / assistant drop the kite unintentionally ! You must only grab the chicken loop with one hand. This will allow to drop everything easily and flag-out the kite. This also forces you to not grab the bar at this time ! Moreover, for beginners, grabbing chicken loop with the hand really helps feeling the tension coming as you are approaching the right launch position 👍 And only at THIS point, right positon found, and lines double-checked, you can hook, and launch !

Thanks for the video. At one of the launch sites the wind is very weak at the bottom and very strong at the top. So during launching the kite starts naturally drift downwind and then hot launches. Any recommendations?

@TheRiderExperience Месяц назад

Once you're in your standard launching position you could take a few more steps upwind pushing the kite deeper into the wind window to get you a more positive launch. This is also useful in lighter winds. I hope that might help :)

@vlaaady Месяц назад

@@TheRiderExperience Yeah, I feel like this is better than throwing the kite upwind that may have an opposite effect and eventually increase the kite drift downwind.
