Hi,
I am beginner, been practicing drif launch due to most local places do not have enough shore space (tree line etc.). Following many videos on YouTube where rider basically (after walking lines and rigging like for normal assisted launch) then wraps lines, again like normal (using figure , grabs kite and bar and then, when on the water, let kite go down wind and proceeds with water relaunch.
For example:
Ok, everything goes normal but cosistently getting front and steering lines tangled. I understand that when I wrap lines, I accidentally make bar spin around centre line and this is what ruins it. Spoke with other kiteboarder and he said that for him it is the same problem and pretty much a gamble to get it right, so he does not do drift launch at all. But I am sure there should be a silver bullet solution to do it right, perhaps wrap lines only when hooked and unwrap too, perhaps always put bar under the kite, perhaps I am making other mistake? Any advice from forum?
Cheers,
Aniva
