Well done! Better than on the beach :) I had the chance to do this today with my Ozone Hyperlink v2 13m. :-) I tried also FS Soul, PL Nova & F One HALO and i must say that the F One HALO is the easiest softkite to pack on the water I ever had.
i also think that is a good idea in theory but recently discovered that in windy, wavy, conditions, the lines are a total menace,,, how do you control the lines while also using the kite as a sail?
nice work!!!,,,,i am laughing because my packdown was the opposite of that,, my lines were like hostile intelligent seaweed attacking me and trying to turn me into a mummy, but it was windy and wavey some maybe that was the difference. it wasn't no wind situation but rather a rope slider failure
Thanks! Yes the pack downs in stronger wind are more tricky (and not as neat!). A tip I find useful is to wind all the bridles in on the bar also about half way. This helps lessen the amount you can get tangled in but need to leave enough to be able to roll the bar up.
@@janetaylor3848 i also like that tip about getting the vent out of the water by rolling up the topside faster, brilliant. i also found sitting on my boarding in high wind chop/waves to be more difficult than i had thought it would be, you made it look easy. i guess i learned that practicing in my mind is not the same as doing it for real.
@@kevinlowe7552 haha yes I have a surfing background so sitting on my board is no problem. Plenty of guys in our club have found it difficult though, practise makes perfect!
Hi, thanks for watching! This was in deep water, you just sit on your board. The ocean would be harder with the swell. And yes it is harder if you’ve also lost your board (as I’ve found out) but still possible ;)
@@janetaylor3848 yeah, had that experience. Good to get the board first and swim back to the kite with the board. In low wind. Packing is harder without a board to sit on... And I did it once and had a very hard time to find the board afterwards. Was very low wind, didn't expect the board to move so quick, but it was really far away. Foil board move very fast even in low wind.
Ozone gives a belt with all kites they sell. I always take it with me for extra compact packing kite. Easy to wear it on your waist.
Well, you did that about 100 times faster than me! Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done, must have been a long swim!
Great video thanks for sharing 👌🏻
Wow thats was well done! Thanks for sharing!

I like to keep air in the kite, as it helps blow me ashore and lightens the weight of water inside the kite.

For me if I do that water gets into the kite and then act as an anchor. You will become very slow to move

Doesn't Ozone say that rolling the R1 voids the warranty because it can damage the batons?
Nice one, I don't foil board, wonder how it is when you're neck deep in the ocean. Dread finding out lol

Nicely done ;) Maybe you could have closed the zipper in the end.
I will have to try that next time! :)
