The hardest part of taking off before the kite hits 12 (for me) is retraining my brain and body to feel for different amounts of line tension as the kite climbs, and also using that as the trigger for initiating the carve and pop. Being self-taught has created some bad habits!

Was this filmed in July? I think I saw you guys and Phillip there. It’s my home kitesurf spot but when the waves are small it’s really a great twintip spot. Amazing wind this year, equal to the Gorge and hardly a foggy day like we once typically had when Portland is hot.
@Kitehomiez 24 күн бұрын
Yeah. July - over 3 days - Phillip was there too at some point and a bunch of Seattle crew, sadly couldnt get their footage. But yeah it was a good month - water wasnt super cold either :P.

@@Kitehomiez fun to watch. I’ve been working up to looping. I can downloop and heliloop but we’ll see if i actually loop this year. Kiting for ten years but mostly surf and foil till this year. My Manzanita house is rented most of the summer but mostly weekends the rest of the year. I have 10 acres above Mosier I’m working on with a gutted house but working utilities if you ever need a camping spot in the Gorge. Lots of parking for RVs too

What is the biggest kite you perform this trick on?
@Kitehomiez Ай бұрын
Hey man sorry i didnt see... I just do my 10m but im pretty tall. We have done 12m but its pushing it... heck i have even done a 14 but in light wind... but i dont recommend it ull stretch ur lines. So to sum up 9 - 10m max?
@BenjaminLovelady 3 ай бұрын
The other way to do a drift launch is to lay out your lines on the beach and then go through the motions of a self-rescue while still on the beach. Then walk into the water with your bar wrapped up and proceed with a self-rescue reset (unwrap the bar, attach the chicken loop, and slowly let out the flag line.) This way you know the kite can't power up until the very end when you are letting out the flag line. It's arguably the safer way to do it, but I only do that when I have to swim out with my kite and board into deep water before doing the drift launch. That way if I accidentally let go, the kite stays depowered and next to me. The most important safety thing is making sure there's nothing to snag on. The only times I've had problems with drift launches were when there was debris in the water that snagged the lines.
@BenjaminLovelady 3 ай бұрын
5:55 I prefer using the safety line to control the kite drifting away, essentially keeping the kite flagged until it's nearly all the way out. But most of the time I hold on just long enough to make sure no lines are tangling and then let go of the kite and brace.

@mouse2542 3 ай бұрын
been doing it for a year, and recently had my first ride in a seat harness (mystic aviator). maybe my waist harness (pro limit something) isn't the right fit, but the seat harness is so much more comfy especially with big gusts of wind. instead of fighting the kite i can now just lean back against the wind. the diaper style is huge bonus.
@Kitehomiez 3 ай бұрын
Totally agree... Way better for the back, and you feel you can hold more in strong wind from my experience... I just wish they lasted longer when going out in strong winds and looping :P I guess most of them are not built for that, but there are things u can do to help - just keep monitoring the straps after strong sessions - and put some electrical tape or ductape whenever you feel they are thinning, or possibly try to use spreader bar with rounded edges if you have one lying around so it doesnt cut into the straps?
