Relaunch the Kite in LIGHT WIND - (Kitesurf Tutorial)

In light wind it might be super difficult to relaunch your kite from the water. I hope this video helps you understand what to focus on so you can get your kite back in the air and keep enjoying your session.

Excellent tutorial. Focusing on the deep water version is exactly what many others are missing in their tutorials. Swimming against the kite and using the board as a tool to help create/keep tension is also often not mentioned.

Thanks for the tips, you explain the topics on better way than other kite tutorial channels. I always struggle with light winds. I will keep in mind on my next light wind sesion

Thats a great vid. Im surprised you did not cover the relaunch by flying the kite backwards by pulling both back lines at the sam time ; this basically changes the trailing edge into the leading edge, which changes the arrow direction by 180 deg. You therefore dont have to put it on its ear. It s a nice one, quite fun to do !

отлично !!! хорошая работа и точно проблему раскрыл!!!

I've spent a fair amount of time in light winds and think I'm fairly good at relaunching. One thing I did realize though is that even though winds are light, the extra time spent trying to relaunch usually means drifting downwind quite a bit. And then, with winds light it can be even harder to get back upwind. At least it's easier to self-land when you've drifted way down the beach.

Nice video once again. There is one thing i am bothered that we can find from 90% of videos. Doesnt matter if its lightwind or strong wind. Imo we should always depower the kite when launching or landing. Maybe not fully but most of it anyways. Lightwind (prevent backstall) strong wind prevent getting too hard launch. It often happens that someone has "full power" kite drops in powerzone and launches you in the air if you havent depowered. You agree? :)

Trying to relaunch a 7m in 5kn and less wind takes a while🤣 you also get some funny looks from people riding 14m

I agree with @vincentdinoto6138 about how good to see deep water relaunch video but I'd very much like to know how to keep enough tension in lines for relaunch if you do 'not' have the board.
Thanks Much for your excellent videos... great to hear the 'why and when' as well as the 'what' to do.

What is the minimum wind speed required to practice these techniques?
