Looks like you were fortunate the wind was so light. Additional foot note to add to the already addressed issues. In that light of wind you REALLY need to focus on letting the bar out so the kite can fly properly. You appear to be choking it the whole way. Get your power from scooping it up with kite movement 🤙🏾
in stronger wing this would of not happened as it would just take off normally. . I would reverse lunch it. He did good fixing the issue. I agree on your points through
You beat me to this; I usually launch depowered then power up on the water. Helps get air under the LEI, as does letting the bar out as someone else mentioned. It is good the winds were light; also awesome the video was shared for open discussion and learning for everyone. Good winds y'all!
you actually have to go towards the kite let it fall on is back and then pull the direction line it will go on its side in a second and you can pull it up then
Really poor and super risky line and bar handling. Never ever go that slack with the steering lines near the bar. It is asking for trouble and could be lethal in windier conditions. Instead, it would have been better to back the kite up or to induce a roll over to get the kite to go into launch position.
@@SENIXCNTR You almost made a "chasing my kite mare" video. I've been kiting just 10 months. I like your progression. I just had 10 days in South Padre. Great learning.
Jesus, you are choking the bar so much, kite cannot fly for shit that way. You get huge part of power by moving the kite and generating speed on it (there is some physics formula which covers it). If you are holding it sheeted in the whole time, you are choking it, making it move slower and esentially trying to backstall it. Foil kites are usually landed that way (albeit you do have to pull extra length of the steering lines than just sheet in). You power/depower movement should match the moves of the kite. While kite is moving slow or slower, you should be sheeted in (to some degree), as it is picking up speed, you should sheet out. Only if you want it to change direction or to get some power (for water start or jump), should you sheet in again. But there sould always be a period in between where kite is fully (or most of the way) sheeted out. It equalizes length of the steering and front lines, fixing kite's angle of attack, making it much more aerodynamic, so it gains speed more quickly. Gains in speed trump keeping the kite sheeted-in in the process of power generation whenever you are moving laterally. Especially in light wind btw. Check some videos on backstalling and/or kite trim and depower by "Kite surf college" channel, it's good material even for intermediate kiters.
Pulling a line is fine! Hand over hand pulling the lines like that is so unnecessary and why the line flipped over the bar in the first place. As long and the bar is fully sheeted out and you reach a good length down the line you should be able to get it in one grab. Hand over hand and with bar flapping all over is so dangerous!

Thanks for sharing, always being careful is far better compared to a tombstone with "he was always a cool dude" written on it. .Take care.
Very true!
My guy lauched with full power and then depowered for the session haha. thx for sharing tho
Glad you didn't get fucked. I've never had it twist like that on me when self launching but good to know it can twist like that.
I do a lot of self launches, as you can see it did happen. Did I learn from it ? You bet!
It’s all about the progression 👍
Where is this?
Anxiety attack at 0:40 bruh
me too ahah, I was super anxious!
wtf was he doing fucking crazy lmao
But why did you spin the bar pray tell
You need cursed of kite OMG😱 dead loop is coming
Depower kite it will launch easier

I’ll never get those 3 minutes back….
No you won’t . Just passing the time🙄
wind speed looks about 2kts lucky for you on windy day you would of been dragged for miles lol

I was thinking the same thing
that works on the beach... but it's a water start here. not sure if it can fall back in such conditions
@@DenisShakhovsky Sure you can. That is what we all did before the SLE revolution.
Still learning, what almost went wrong?
Line got caught on bar and would have made kite spiral into a powered out of control spin. Thankfully the winds were light🙏🏻

Man, wish I had some shallow water like that where I live😟😟. All deep water rides, or weedy shallows.
Nice spot, where is this?
Long Island NY Sth shore
Let the bar out a bit on the upstroke of the kite sinusoidal movement, helps it rise up faster
Thanks
id pull the right line
Wow, had the kite launched a bit earlier that would have been a very different video. Yikes.
I know, right?
@@SENIXCNTR You were just standing their lolly gagging for a bit too long
@@jsm9033 ya i had time to sort out the lines and undo. That is the reason for the lolly gagging. Be happy
I have the exact same board!!
Was my first board
Very fortunate indeed.
Yes it was, still learning 👍

ytaps I almost kited there this past year. It was calm and foggy. I heard it’s good.👍
Looked fine to me... I mean it's not flawless but life never is.
true
i am still learning everyday.
@@SENIXCNTR Actually I take it back. Just re-watched and the lines around the bar were not good, but great recovery!! :-) haha
@@davekuhn1770 Hey its all part of learning.
Lots will happen.As a 14,000 pilot i have much to experience over the years.

Thanks for your input . Im always up for some advanced advice.
pull on the opposite side center line
lucky
Santa C yes, lucky winds were light
@@SENIXCNTR you were about to create a DL...have a safe ride and check this video ua-cam.com/video/SjA5CEzZrTU/v-deo.html
You seem a little underpowered from my observation?
Always could use a little more wind👍

Never grab the lines, you did the same mistake twice.
You grab the lines to make it shorter. Just don’t wrap lines around hand🙄
Pulling a line is fine! Hand over hand pulling the lines like that is so unnecessary and why the line flipped over the bar in the first place. As long and the bar is fully sheeted out and you reach a good length down the line you should be able to get it in one grab. Hand over hand and with bar flapping all over is so dangerous!
