05 Ocean Rodeo 16 Relaunch

Post by Martin »

My second session on my new 05 OR16m yesterday.

The wind was light as it usually is for 16's so it went down on the water twice. I was worried about getting a 16m up off the water but did the following;

Pulled the depower strap all the way in, pulled in the depower strap to just above my head, released and swam towards the kite. it went over onto its back quickly.
I then swam to the side and up it came.
Not any more difficult than my OR 12m 2003, so a very pleasant surpise.
