would be great if you could demonstrate this with a strutless kite

Like a boss! 😎

holding the camera and flying with one hand made this look more difficult. Its a great way to land a kite

Been using this since you posted your first video. I am amazed at kiters, much more experienced than me, who don’t know how to safely self-land. Thanks for teaching me this

Also if you know your going to self land - set your flag out line to the side your gonna land on.. Can be dangerous if the kite flags/rolls upwards and catches a line on an obstacle :)

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey, is this working with kites that have the V high so that the lines dont split directly over the Bar aswell? Really was wondering about that.

beautiful bro. thanks for the content

Like zeus from dimitri 😂

Very helpful. The best technique I've seen for self-landing. Makes all kind of sense.

A memory I will cherish forever!

For me I think I would screw it up. Too much going on. I'd rather do the traditional drift launch with the lines connected

👍 Will you make a video of landing a foil kite in these wind conditions?

Thanks for sharing 🎉

As long as you check your lines when required, it looks good to me.

Ask any kite boarder if they've ever had a Charburger.

I like the diagram on the board to help your students visualize where to place the kite, and that you use a two-way radio for instructing on the go. No need to shout over the wind and JetSki. I’m a regular at the Skyway, so see you teaching often. Good job.

Great idea! I wish I would have learned this 10 years ago!

when you were reconnecting your lines, how could you tell which of the front lines are left and right?maybe i missed something. Are they colour coded?

Good idea but there is still the ability to screw it up easy, but i like the way you uses a chesty to film the picking up the lines. I used to use a piece of foam with slits in it to keep the lines straight for kiting from my boat where I had really limited space to set up lines. Thanks for sharing your great idea, Larry

I believe there is a even better solution been using it myself for several years now with no issue ua-cam.com/video/9_FxYkg1vZc/v-deo.html

Nice!

lekker meneer. Dit sal baie help.

Interesting, I will definitely test this out over my next sessions! Regards from Uruguay!

So this only works with the safety line up? And what did you mean move into the wind. Like step upwind as you pull the safety?

Clever, thanks

Thanks for this. I will definitely try it.

What about the hassle to get the flagout line back in place again? Would it be easier/ faster/ more safe just to put in an ancor before going out?

That’s rad. Good looking out. 🤙🏼

so easy and yet useful thanks!

Yesssssssss!!!!!!

Sometimes there are beaches with sharp shells, etc. I always gently set my kite down on its wing tip first, then release. That lessons the wear and tear on your leading edge. ua-cam.com/video/uOv0WVd7WkQ/v-deo.html

Dale, you should add some of your fantastic music to the soundtrack!!

I give the lower hand a bit of yank just before i pull the safety, helps the kite turn toward the ground and commit rather than drifting back up. I’ve never had it fail. Your sorta doing it naturally anyway the way you send the kite across as u pull the safety. Ozone kite Australia has a good video as well

What would actually happen if your flag line was at bottom?

With a FOIL KITE the key point will be to make sure the flag line is on the bottom side, in opposite to a LEI kite. This is the safest option in strong wind without assistant (which would be always wiser) You may as well switch the front lines in order to accommodate landing to the most appropriate position on your spot😎

I’m work on the boat and I’m lunch kite every day I’m never think about revers self rescue, I have like 3 method for launch kite from the boat but tomorrow I’m try your one

EXCELLENT VIDEO - One of the best "how-to" kitesurfing video I've watched. Keep them coming - Subscribed!

And now in 30 knots and deep water

This is an approach that it would be best to experiment with on a light wind or no wind day and with a very small kite, kind of as a proof-of-concept. I tried it out on a light wind day, and followed all the steps, including doing a self-rescue with the bar on land before packing up the kite and taking it to my boat to a submerged island. After anchoring my boat, I pumped up the kite and flipped it over and started releasing the line off the bar. The kite started drifting downwind, as expected, and I got about half the line out when I encountered a small tangle as I was unwinding line off the bar. As I was sorting that out, the kite launched! It was at 12 o'clock, with half the line out, a tangle on the bar, and me in the boat. I've spent some time thinking about it and I can't understand how the kite could launch when the depower line was fully extended and wrapped around the back of the bar. I was able to get the kite back down by hauling in the depower line and then deflating it. But the moral of the story is that this could have been a very scary situation in strong wind. I could have been lofted, and the chickenloop would have been useless because there was lots of line wrapped around the bar. I would have had to release the kite completely off the leash.

Dangerous approach for stronger wind. Got into a situation once where wind picked up the kite before line was unwound off the bar. Bad situation! I suggest holding the kite and let all line out before letting go of bar.

I use this to also wash the kite but I put it against something like my truck. The sticks are a real good idea but the smallest breeze will start to move it. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Were is the board???

Before you body surf in the kite I recommend to connect safety leash to the kite at the inflate connection for the pump and I would even disconnect the leash from the bar. This way it is less likely to tangle in lines and bridles and you won’t loose the kite when washed in waves. If you do a second video consider voice over to reduce noise. It helps all non native English speakers. Thanks for the video, looking forward for more.

you should actually demonstrate this technique in deep waters. no one needs a self rescue when they are waist deep.

Should not kite alone. This is a hard rule. Even when i was a windsurfer, that was the advice. However, i have more than once, ended up being left the last kiter on the water. Thanks for this video will give it a try.

Can I try this with a foil kite?

Does it work with a 5 lines kite?

Guess this won’t work on a 5-line kite right?? (I have North Rebel 5-line) What do you think?
