Here in Maui the wind shifts directionally quite a bit - I find myself getting pulled down wind/off the wind when I start to carve upwind to initiate this - any advice there?? Thanks for this great video!

Used this method today in light winds (10-12 kts) - worked perfectly. Thank you for the video and caveats - I’ll take those on board for sure. Could one use this method in reverse to self-launch in relatively light winds? I’m thinking unhooked and walking the lines in advance of course
@FlukesKitesurfing 13 күн бұрын
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't do it in reverse. This method is kind of my last resort land only used whne i really need it. to launch I would be inclined to setup an anchor if its rough terrain or use the drag method on sand. Hope that helps :)

Thx a lot for sharing your know ledge. It Is possibile ti scale this plans for a foil right for low Wind/Wing foil? Only scaling aspect ratio and surface, whithout thickness? Or scaling all 3 demension? Thx a lot!
@FlukesKitesurfing 27 күн бұрын
Hey! Glad its helpful. You can actually try that, bit i would be inclined to add thickness too, but you can play around with all combos of dimensions and see how they perform. One thing to pay attention to with this plan is to reinforce the wing to Fuse connection point, because if you make a bigger front wing it will add a lot of load on those screws. So add more/thicker screws or a socket connection.

I used this method again today in really light conditions, the kite would get up on its tip but then fall back on its back edge again and sink. After a few tries I was able to figure out how to prevent that. When the kite gets up on its tip, do not let go of the front line until the kite leaves the water.

There is a better way. Figure out which line is the safety line - left or right. After that move the kite to the side so the safety would be upper. Then keeping kite just 1-2 meters from land - eject the chicken. Thus you kite will land safely and softly in its parking position

For someone like myself who has a hard time with kite/line orientation... You can keep your bar the same way until in launch position so the lines aren't crossed, then twist your arms like a steering wheel on a car, and maybe even tilt your head and body a bit so your brain can get the orientation. It took a few watches before I could figure out your right line was pulling on that ”left" side of the kite, which was actually the right. If, only for instructional purposes, the bar was oriented with the kite the entire time, it would show was going on more clearly. Then it would be easier understand which direction to ”pre-twist" the bar.
@FlukesKitesurfing 3 ай бұрын
Hey Craig, the bar is always in your hand ready to fly, its important to always hold the bar the correct way so if it was to ever launch you would have the steering correct. The only reason we flip the bar is that we are behind the kite at setup, so we have to flip the bar one way to change red to the left. Holding the bar red on the left. thats the main thing :) You can however kind of do what you say, but dont touch the bar. You can actually never touch the bar as you walk the arc, until the kite rolls into the launch position.This way often the bar will unspin itself, or you can sight the lines, the unspin and launch. but i personally think less issues arise by flipping the bar at the start and ensuring you have red on the left at the start... otherwise More issues arise when people in a panic grab the wrong side of the bar because the kite is launching and they rush. Hope that helps

@FlukesKitesurfing 3 ай бұрын
Hey! If you use the 25x25 the alloy will be strong enough but the weak point is the screw connections. the bigger the wing the more lateral load will be applied to the screws and may bend them. So you could think about how to strengthen that area :)
