Great video, Petar! I really like how you have instructions and analysis separated in your turorials. I don’t think many people include the safety line in their anchor, really important point. And walking between the kite and the anchor with your safety on the lower front line makes sense. A bouncing kite is the biggest issue that can make this type launch unattractive.
Good video! How about using a carabiner hook placed above the quick release around the power lines? This way the kite won’t flag out if the chicken loop fails and allows for quickly hooking in while the kite is fixed in place
@maxeratorr thank you for your comment. I see it could be more practical but Would you prefer the Chicken Loop to fail at the Carabiner or at your harness once the kite is launched?
@@maxeratorr As I mentioned in the episode, always connect the spare safety leash to the Safety Line and the Chicken Loop (CL). This ensures that we can Quick Release the kite’s CL if something doesn’t go as planned. Flagging out the kite should always be safe, and we shouldn’t hesitate to do so when necessary.
Overall, really like the approach. I have mixed feelings about the safety leash on the front line. I agree that could help prevent bouncing but at the same time I don't know if I'd want to be introducing that variable of line tension if something went wrong. I think I'd rather have something happen to the kite than need to react quickly to get it out of the power zone since I'm connected to it. You could always release the leash I suppose.
@vinny61389 Hello, I understand your concerns about connecting the safety leash to the lower front line, I had the exact same thoughts when I first heard about it. However, after testing it extensively, I found it really helps keep the kite closer to the ground. As mentioned This setup prevents the lines from wrapping around the wing tips, which happened to me once when I wasn’t using the safety leash on the lower front line. Regarding your concern about the kite powering up: even if I stay in place, the leash connection shortens the front line, which prevents the kite from gaining power, even if it starts rolling in the power zone. In the unlikely event something does go wrong, we can always use the safety leash quick-release as you mentioned 🙏🏻🙌🏼
@@kitesurfexperiencebypetar Appreciate the reply and explanation of situations you've tested! I'll consider giving this a go next time I do this style launch. The one spot I usually do it is quite gusty on-shore, so the kite does tend to hop around some.
I think using a leash to secure the kite is a bad idea! I have seen a few guys running after their kites already when the leash broke. Just using any old rope with a knot works better.
Have you ever followed all these steps before?
When you do a tutorial of a kite lost in the water, why did the safety line break?
@@thaqqqiiiii sorry I'm not sure about which tutorial you are talking?

Thank you very much for your support :))
Excellent safe advice. Shared!
Great, thank you very Much 🙏🏻
Great Petar.... Tnx for su h a good explanation
Thank you mama 😘

@@kitesurfexperiencebypetargood point, you’re right it would indeed be better if it fails on the carabiner haha. Maybe for landing it would be ok?

Yes, always ensure that your fixed point (piece of wood, leash, rope, carabiner) is 100% secure.
nice channel! hit like and sub!
Thank you very much :))
