After turning the kite on his back pull in one frontline, so that one of the ears catches wind. After the kite starts to walk into one direction let the line go and start the kite.

Try to poll the power lines a few times in. Then release them at once and swim hard toward the kite. The kite will turn on his back. Then pull on one of the steering lines but not hard. The kite will go to the other direction. When you see the kite starts to pick up wind, release the steering line easily and restart your kite.

Hi,

To get the Aero II on it's back is easy, just pull in an arms length of the front lines, release and swim towards the kite.

As soon as the kite is on it's back pull in on one front line to get the kite to turn and catch wind, it will ALWAYS help to swim in one direction to help the kite to catch the wind and come up on one side. The rest is simple, the wants to take off so just steer it out of the water.

It will relauch before it reaches the edge of the window so it is not necessary to wait for that long to steer it up.

Cheers,

Bengan
