Re: [ksurfschool] water relaunching a Vegas 14

Hi,

The '06 Vegas is a 5 line kite. In light wind,
when the kite is
on the water leading edge down, you pull on the
5th line, but not so much that it completely turns it
on it's back.. When you've pulled enough of the
5th line that the kite tips are raising off the water,

start steering the kite with the back lines to get it
to the edge of the 'wind window'. Make sure
you are ready to let go of the 5th line once
the kite starts moving to the edge, and never wrap
lines around your hands! 5th lines are great
for relaunching in light wind.

Good Luck!
