- 5m Kite already set up
- Walked into the water
- Start flying 8s and get dragged face first
- Keep 8s tight. Most power near water
- In lower winds, don’t turn too sharp (lose power)
- Fly kite at 12:00 (lofted) when walking back
- Got lifted high with one gust – heaps of power, even though wind was not strong
- Walk backwards & pull bar down to keep kite flying
Got to feel the real power of a kite. This technique is used for self rescue and getting back to your board if you lose it in a wipe out.
