- This episode will address the ever present concern of what happens when you're stuck in deep water with a foil kite that you can't relaunch. Vadim takes us through the proper steps to achieve a successful outcome in getting back safely to land with yourself and also importantly, all of your gear in one piece.

love the shirt idea, previously I know locals who would go out foiling with a garbage bag for the same very reason
I really recommend sitting on your board to do self rescue as the floating leashed board really gets in the way whilst winding your lines. Sitting on the board is not that difficult. Practice sitting on it surfer style. Being able to do this also makes lightwind relaunch so much easier.
Love the use of the rash guard to store the kite great tip.
Another great and instructive video as self rescuing may happen often in light winds. I use a 2nd leash, snapped in the back of my seat harness, to secure the board: it is always there and available when needed. Sitting on the board is really difficult when there is any swell, especially with the 3'6" variant.
Great video- thanks
Excellent video! All the great points! Great work man!
Thanks Art FlySurfer!
top vid. thanks!
This is shallow not deep. It's easier than when you're really offshore.
And how do you retrieve the kite when it's got water inside it, had this happen a couple of days ago and if it hadn't been low tide and was able to stand up I would have been in real trouble?
TH-cam algorithms are utterly bizarre. I have never kiteboarded. I have never mentioned kiteboarding, or searched for kiteboarding on a search engine. This video was in my recommended feed. I enjoyed the video, and want to try kiteboarding. Go figure.
For the record, I am a geeky fat guy who collects board games, plays Dungeons and Dragons, reads history books and cannot swim.
How did this find me, I wonder?
This is great! Kiteboarding does not require great athleticism or ability contrary to popular belief. I don’t know how it found you, but if it concludes with you being a Kiteboarder ...that’s great!
Hmm, for light wind, shallow water no breaking surf---good solution --in windy, large swell and surf I would prefer try to get the kite to direct me in to shore as quickly as possible.
I usualy hydrofoil alone in the sea with no boat rescue, because of it I do not go far from the baech, I liked a lot this tips and I used them with my Hiperlink 12m, but ¿do you recomend me, foil kite or an inflate kite in my case?. I have an intermediate level in foiling (only gibe but not tack at the moment). I need a New kite and I have to make a decision: ¿foil or inflate?
Well, the foil kite will stay in the air in lighter winds but obviously if it drops really low, it won’t float you in a self rescue situation. A lot of variables here in front of you, but most of it just comes down to personal preference.
shirt, excellent idea !, good i will choose an xxl….few days ago i was helping a kiter that was sinking in the water and he lost also the foilboard. he was not able explaining to me reasons, cell was closed, zip was closed, but water in. probably tide small wave and long time in self rescue. do you ave any experience/suggestion . ? thank a lot.
If it was a newer closed cell foil kite, probably time in the water. Different foils have different absorption properties as well.
@@TheOKKiteboarder thanks
Thank. your suggestions makes good. i will keep in mind.
Starts at 1:15
this guy could stand on the ground... does he?
No. I think these Caribbean waters may be deeper than they look.
Yeah he's standing. But technique is correct so good to watch anyway.
@@GreenHatKiteboarding it's so much more realistic if you swim for an hour after wrapping up
the guy is not in deep water ......
Yes u get the idea Pete😂
Would have been more realistic if this was done in deep water. But anyway good to know.
