Hey Eric,
If you don't have enough wind to release the launch tabs then it was not the right kite for the day. You could maybe buggy or board on a hard smooth
surface in 8-10, but that kite really shines above 15 mph winds. If you are flying the 15 in winds that you can't release the launch tabs, you will be
fine to just hot launch it directly downwind. Just don't expect much power in those winds. A 15m Speed 3 would be a nice kite alongside this Synergy.
When the Speed is getting overpowered, get out the Synergy. I kiteboarded at NC Outer Banks with my 15 and was only well powered when the winds were
above 25 mph. Most others were using 9m LEI kites. For refrence, I'm 230-240 lbs. |
