How to self launch your kite. <br />
<br />
==How To==<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
<br />
1. Some kiters use this to show off and endanger others, even when others could assist.<br />
<br />
2. I use it when alone in lower winds and NO ONE downwind on a sandy sideshore beach.<br />
<br />
3. It can go very very wrong, even for the most advanced kiters. Maybe only once in 50.<br />
<br />
4. It is always a danger to anyone downwind.<br />
<br />
5. Hard landings may get a shell hole in your leading edge.<br />
<br />
6. Launches with line errors or bridle snags will loop the kite.<br />
