Thanks dude the cowtails are a good idea i was just trying to work out how to not have my lines end up around some small lights and that sling is the answer
We studied a few videos before trying this ourselves. We experimented with light wind and f*d up a few times, but nobody harmed and nothing broken. I´d recommend experimenting with 11 or 12 m² kite with around 16 knots wind the first time. We also used a bucket to roll the lines in in advance instead of letting the lines drift downwind. That appeared to be the safest way.
Really enjoyed the video. Been sailing, surfing, scuba, etc. a long time. Might have already been covered about anchoring, but if at anchor, you need a large enough anchor and enough scope ( line and chain out to the anchor) in order as not to drag an anchor. Scope is measure by your depth × 7 = Scope. (Depth = 10' (feet), therefore Scope = 10' × 7 = 70'). If Moored, then you have a big ass weight on the bottom with a buoy. Note: Buoy lines and gear have been known to break as they are constantly in the water. So if you like living on the edge with loaded lines check all your gear constantly. Good safety advices and walk through. Cheers
Don`t launch from a boat. But it could come in handy. Nicely explained and liked the thing with the floaty in the water! I`ve been picked up by a boat once and if they don`t know how to handle the kite u could be in for trouble. This makes it a one man job! Awesome . Thumbs up!
You guys rock! Really clear and comprehensive instructions. Any tips on modifying a pontoon boat for this would be appreciated. I have a ski boat, but was planning to get an old pontoon boat and set it up for lake kiting.
Nice job guys i can suggest you to connect a safety leash to the carabiner to because in case something happen you can depower the kite without to leave it in the water. Thanks again for the video
hey, it's a very informative video I like it. For the purpose of kiting, would you make any changes to the platform of your boat if you could? The thing is, I got myself two inflatable pontoons (14ft) and now I'm designing the deck. Not sure if I should go for the classic catamaran style, or make overlaying platform on top of the pontoons like in your case. Any piece of advice is much appreciated! Best wishes from eastern Europe
Hi HR Aerial. I really like your video. clear audio and a matching video. very nice made. Could you tell me what brand that boat is? I'll buy one soon, but I don't know which yet. I'm interested in yours.
amazing, very clear instructional video! Do you have any experience launching closed-cell foilkites from boats? Such as the ozone chrono or flysurfer speed5 or sonic, maybe you can do another video on that, I imagine it requires a different approach?
I have seen one video about it, it's very different but it would be a great addition to this video if you could pull it off ;) thanks a lot for this great video though!
Do you do anything to keep other boaters from running over your lines? I have had a ski tow rope run over and my kite lines are more difficult to see. Also, do you every do this alone? NJ bays have biting greenhead flies which often torture anyone staying on the boat.
Ozone I don´t know, but Flusurfer is easier than inflatable kite. Everything is done in the water. The kite inflates while the lines are rolled out. th-cam.com/video/WSY6GG3fzgs/w-d-xo.html
But if you have wind, you can not throw the kite in the water like it is shown in the video. Then it will totally blown over the water, turning, twisting and crashs the hole system ;-)
great video and great technique, but i don't think the retrieving procedure is 100% safe in strong winds, when you keep tension in one line and your partner rolls them on the bar if something happens and you let go the line with tension for any reason there will be tension on all four lines and the kite can develop power and uncontrolled loops can happen. The only really safe procedure is to activate the quick release, or attach only the leash of the kite (safety lne) to the boat. This is not very convenient but you don't wanna find yourself near potentially tensioned lines even if they are not attached to you. another way to doit could be to roll only the tensioned line on the bar a few times and then all four together... beyond that good job, i am totally gonna try this ;)
ta façon de faire est trop juste! pas assez sécuritaire pour un décollage facile tu est sur la bonne voie mais commence déjà par réduire tes avant sur la barre afin de ne pas avoir l aile en puissance ! trop de risque de nœud dans tes lignes avec ta technique

Very welcome. Glad we could help.

We thought of that as well, but keeping the lines on the bar just made for one less thing to have to deal with.
Make sure you mention to keep lines from being tangled around legs and feet when setting up on the boat.
This is very true.

Appreciate the post.
Nice job... you may confuse people with saying the front of the boat when you have it anchored from the stern. That is a big no no in the ocean.
Thank you for the post. You are correct. Anchoring in the Ocean must follow the rules.
Great video
Thank you very much. We are working on many more to come.
Love the comment..." ask us how we know " too funny. Good video. Thanks.
:-) Always trying to share our wisdom so others don't have to experience it.
thank you for all your time and effort to help us out.
Real good information, how ever its little bit tricky from boat. Well done
exactly what I was looking for
That's great to hear. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel, we are going to have more videos coming out
This helps a great deal for me. Thanks for sharing.
Very welcome

We wouldn't change anything on our setup, as it works perfectly.
@@FOILUSA thanks man. Such platform really does seem pracital
Great video. I am about to start my learning curve on an inland lake. This information is exactly what I needed to get started. Thank you so much.
Best video! Thank you!!!!!
Very welcome. Glad you enjoyed, and please be sure to subscribe to our channel, we are going to have more videos coming out
Good stuff. Love the hand gestures...
Glad you appreciate that. ;-)
Thanks i love kitesurf beach icarai de amontada Brazil 🇧🇷
Awesome - I am going sailing on a 40 ft catamaran in a few weeks and will def be trying this out them. Thanks very umuch for the perfect explanation !
will do...
how you had a great time
Great video. Thanks for posting
excellent video
Excellent video. Thanks!

?
Very clear and thorough... Thank you!
Thank you.
Great video and narration! Thanks!
Appreciate that.
Excellent video. I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.
That's what we like to hear. ;-)
well done great info.
Great Video, This helps me out on my Lake! Keep up the Great Videos!
Appreciate that.

this defintely makes it look easy

Hopefully no one is that air headed to drive over your lines.. But that's a good point.
nice set up i'm on a lake thinking about getting into this sport...how much for a gently used set up? I would want a smaller kite.
Great video Thx
Well done.
Good stuff man. Well done!
Victor Oh
that was so useful!
also, I have a video idea: how to do a tow up?
good video
Great video! Question: how would you do it with a foil kite? Like an Ozone cell kite?
You wait until the lake gets frozen.
Ozone I don´t know, but Flusurfer is easier than inflatable kite. Everything is done in the water. The kite inflates while the lines are rolled out.

Unfortunately, have not.,
Have you ever broken a line using that anchor method?
not sure what you mean ?
But if you have wind, you can not throw the kite in the water like it is shown in the video. Then it will totally blown over the water, turning, twisting and crashs the hole system ;-)

Agreed. We found it better to flip the kite on it's leading edge, and pull in with the depower line, or bridle line (Same in most cases)
So much fun
A+ Thank you!
AWESOME!!!
Thank you.
The mime was clear, audio commentary was not needed.
On a 25+ day it isnt so easy, boats have engines engine and propeller, waves nod the boat up and down etc
Jet boats do not have said obstructions. 😉
Woof
ta façon de faire est trop juste! pas assez sécuritaire pour un décollage facile tu est sur la bonne voie mais commence déjà par réduire tes avant sur la barre afin de ne pas avoir l aile en puissance ! trop de risque de nœud dans tes lignes avec ta technique
