any other kite you would have to make a move to relaunch it.
... he didnt let go and the kite relaunched. Any other kite he would have to do something for it to relaunch.
It should have never relaunched to begin with. He would have never got in trouble if the kite just sat there at the edge of the window. No it
drifts towards the middle of the window and relaunches which makes the guy panic and grab hold.
New inflatos will sit at the windows edge waiting for you to grab an outside line and relaunch. Or if close to the center of the
window will sit leading edge down again waiting for you to grab and outside line and relaunch.
If you just happen to have the kite in the correct position and have the correct side of the bar pulled in the kite will launch. Having the bar
pulled in like that unless you let off the pressure the kite will most likely loop and be back in the water before you could respond to it.
