I heard this is how Powerzone launches his kites. I just might try it. So what if the LEI guys laugh if I fail. I bet it will work just fine, just not in marginal winds.

Those trees seemed too close for my comfort... but hey I've only kite-surfed on prairie lakes... and space is NOT an issue.

Cheers,

i do love the way those things launch... all flappy and stuff and then that sound that they make when they fill out :)

ah the memories

I've seen powerzone do it, and he's helped me do it. We did it with my SA2 19m. Maybe get a bud to spot you the first time you do it?

basically, when i did it with PZ we just gave it a little preinflate, laid it out flat and made sure there weren't tangles, then quickly walked back and laid out the lines. He is the expert though.
