Just pull on one ouside (rear) line and it will flip up on its side and take off like any SLE kite. The Helix 14 is a very fast and responsive kite. I am very happy with mine. :wink: Chris Glazier When you pull the rear line, do you have to pull the line high over your head or do you just pull at w...

I have the EXT and have tested the shinn wave and as far as I've tested, it is easier to get up on the EXT than the Wave in light winds. I'm talking about 11-12 kts.
