Self Rescue Help

Post by AC »

For any one who flies and has to self rescue the SLE kite.
I have found that once you get the kite onto its back in the water
by moving to the wing tip and rolling it over. WITHOUT REMOVING
the safety leash from the kite. attach the leash to the Bridal where the pully is the release the kite and move to the other end without having to hold or folding in the wind tip. Your leash will pull the center of the bridal and will catch as much wind as possible. With very little effort.
HAPPY SAILING""

nice! was that a flashlight shining on the kite? and you can tell you had the shutter open for a while by the stars in tiny lines. Cool.
