Kiteboarding Tutorial | How To Safely Launch n' Land a Kite from a Jet ski or Boat

In this video, I'll show you how to launch n' Land your kite from a Jet ski. I highly recommend practicing this technique in shallow water first until you can do it really well. Then try it off the back of a water vessel. Let's say you don't have a good launching spot where you live or you have found a primo spot to kite but its only accessible by boat and there is no beach to launch from or maybe you just live on a lake and want to kiteboard where you live. The video below will teach you everything you need to know on launch and land your kiteboarding kite from a jet ski or boat. I'll outline the key points to remember when using the technique. Launching Key Points: Setup your kite with the bar/lines downwind perform a very neat self-rescue, wrapping the flag line around the back of the bar Wrap all the lines around the front side of the bar secure your lines with a half hitch while keeping your struts inflated, deflate the leading edge  Roll the kite up from one wing tip to the other, taking care your bar stays clear of the kite Load the kite on the vessel and head to a safe secluded spot somewhere upwind Anchor the vessel so that the bow is pointing into the wind Unroll the kite off the back of the vessel, keeping your bar away from the kite Pump up the leading edge and turn the over, lying it flat on the water Check and clear your lines for any tangles  Now slowly and controlled, let out all the lines wrapped around the front side of the bar Now start unwinding the flag line, remember to hang onto the flag line until you get hooked in Once you are hooked in (Leash and chicken loop), start feeding the flagline until the kite powers up Now pull gently on the steering line to bring the kite to the edge of the wind window to launch it. Landing Key Points: Bring the kite down to the edge of the wind window, let go the bar and use your quick release Now perform a neat self-rescue, Flagline on the back and all the lines on the front Once the lines are wrapped up, use a half hitch to secure the lines keeping the struts inflated, Deflate the leading edge Roll up the kite starting from the flagline side If you have any questions or tips on how to do this better, leave a comment below If you would like to book a lesson with me to show you how to do this in real time, visit my website http://www.sakitesurfadventures.com or call +1 833-TRY-KITE
