How did you manage not to get entangled in the bridle lines? When I did this the bridle lines wrapped around my legs and I got caught like a little fly in a spider's web; I hardly could move my legs anymore; very easy to get drowned without a life jacket.
The secret is to roll your lines on the bar properly. If you do it and manage to fold the kite in 2 nicely, than the bridles stay more or less inside the kite. Also stay on the side of the leading edge.
I had no life west. It was a small regatta, the wind died after the race and 2 boats had to rescue 10 guys with foilkites. I left the board drifting downwind thinking I'll relaunch quickly. In the end I was floating around half an hour until the boat came to me.
You packed that kite better on water then I do on land. Respect.
Respect. I would have been one big knot

What happen at end ? Boat rescue ? Board ? Wearing a life jacket or impact vest ? Well done. Great pack down

Alexander Bachev Good upload good to watch in real time. Thanks for reply good all ended well. Good share
Where did you send your foil ? Nice to see this method again
Cédric Morelle, I left the foil drift downwind. I hadn't planned such a self rescue and was hoping the relaunch fast and get going.
Thanks again for sharing this experience
No worries. It was intended for my father how is now into foil kites :D
Neat
Nice calm water & no wind.
A tidy job but it's never like that when I get in trouble.
