Описание к видео How to drift launch a kite safely / properly - self launching from the water

How to drift launch a kite. In summary, let your lines our before letting go of the kite. Your safety system will be fully functional. Works in all wind conditions. I've done it in 15 knots and also in 35 knots. This video was recorded in about 30 knots. A special thanks to the kiters from the Central Ohio Windsurfers group (COWs) for teaching me this method. SteveB and Don in particular.

If you have an older cabrinha, the ones with soft lines that tend to tangle by themselves, this launch will be harder. Give the lines extra time to float downwind as you let out more line and constantly check to make sure they aren't catching in the bridles. New cabrinhas have better/stiffer lines now.
