Agreed Adam. Launch seems to be where most problems happen - be ready for SHTF.
I thought you were suppose to launch unhooked if it could be dangerous? |

| Are you trying to get me a Darwin Award Phil??? I'm pretty sure at a certain point you're better off sticking with the kite instead of ditching it. Kinda like that guy in Oahu (I think) that got lofted hundreds of feet into the air during a video interview with Top Hat. If you watch the video you'll see him actually hook in after the initial lofting to stay with the kite and ride it out. He was extremely lucky though... |
