The kite is directed to the water, probably by mistake (?novice?cramp). It doesn't seem to collapse. Then it is blown to the other side of the wind window.mvb1985 wrote:...He makes a sinus ...
There is one CRITICAL skill that some instructors do not teach as a prerequisite. Upwind body drag. Learn how to do this, and you can go anywhere you want, even if you don't know how to plane on a board. This will help you retrieve your board, and also help you get back to land once you retrieve your board.mvb1985 wrote: Now i was wondering about the following issue. I could more easily start to the left (my rightfoot as backfoot) than to the right.
Im afraid that when im going to practice with sideshore winds i can make some runs offshore but not easily back to the beach. Should i practice only with onshore winds for the first couple of times (risking that i dont have many space to make mistakes)
Any advice?
Thank you in advance.
1. Don't let your kite fall into water, heheKitecult wrote:Anybody here know how to get out of the situation shown in the video above? What happens is that the kite falls, pics up wind again and inverts. When it is then back on the water, it cannot be relaunched because the power lines are actually on top of the kite, pushing it down. Does anybody know a way to correct this, without going out of the water? I had that situation a few times and everytime a friend just went to the wings of my kite and put the line back under the kite. But this is not the safest way I assume, cause the kite powers up again with your friend next to it. So, any suggestions?
I've had success getting my four line kites to flip back on their own by keeping them as full of wind as possible. I try to favor whatever side is the least constrained and work that line, encouraging the kite to turn on end so it can correct itself. Alternating pull from front to back lines at just the right time seems to help too. Although even if you do get it back in the air you'll likely still have to limp back to the beach with inverted lines.Kitecult wrote:Anybody here know how to get out of the situation shown in the video above?
