Rigging and Launching Your Kite From A Boat (Kitesurfing Tip)

[@tommygunz8692]

Ryan iam convinced you are a Legend....I would love to spend 6 months with you...The knowledge I would learn would be priceless....You don’t ever have to worry about making money...I see why you taught a number of things......

[@TwoAfloat]

Tommy, he is for sure a wealth of information. I think I learn something new every day...or maybe I think I do and he is just telling it to me again and again and I don't realize it. Haha! :) N

[@tommygunz8692]

You have a good man...What I Like is how he will keep making you do it until you do it right....I love people who enjoy teaching people....He honestly loves sharing his knowledge.....😊

One of these days I’m going to try rigging and launching from my sailboat and your instruction has given me a clearer understanding of the process. Thanks!

[@TwoAfloat]

Awesome John! Once you try it you'll see how it all makes sense and how simple it can be. Happy kiting! :) N

[@andrewferguson3535]

Keeping the line's on the kite, like for example Flysurfer dos, the Only thing is, Untangle the lines from the Bar carefully to hold (prevention crossing lines) the right line setting !

[@TwoAfloat]

Hi Taco - I agree that works in theory but the reason I do not prefer that method is because of the much greater potential for crossing lines (even if you're careful). The consequences of a crossed line can be much higher when launching from a boat than from a beach where there may be no nearby obstructions and where it may be easier to retrieve an ejected kite. It only takes a few minutes longer to sort the lines and it gives a much greater chance of correctly attaching the lines so in my opinion it is worth the 'extra' effort. Cheers and thank you for your comment and info!! R

Nice job. This is something I’d really like to try.

[@TwoAfloat]

Tony, you totally should!!! :) N

[@merouaned.6958]

Where you in Moorea ??

[@TwoAfloat]

on the north side on that day

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

looks like fun but mega stressful for the first few times... I was stressing just watching!

[@TwoAfloat]

It does get easier with practice! :) N

[@SailSurfROAM]

oh I like the dorky way.... and then I put my lines on the kite before I pump it. Yay or nay? Mick

[@TwoAfloat]

Whatever gets the job done! We promise to only make fun of you when you're not around... :) Kidding aside the 'dorky way' works fine on the mothership but once you learn the flake method it is really MUCH easier and leaves fewer chances for crossed lines, especially more fail safe then attaching lines to a deflated kite and having to worry about keeping the bar orientation correct etc. It's also easier because the lines are generally shielded from wind while you're on the swim step. Another benefit of the flake method is that it works well in dinghies etc which makes it great for launching from areas with no shore access where the mothership can't go, for example tying off to a pylon near a surf break... We're working (slowly) on an updated version of this video showing how easy it is to solo rig using the flake method. I also use it on crowded beaches to avoid having to stretch out the lines.
