Peak 4 13 m water relaunching in sub 7 Knots
How to water relaunch a Peak 4 in marginal wind conditions?
1. After the kite falls pull the back lines
2. Perform a reverse launch pulling the back lines and only when the kite is in the air pushing them a little bit to maintain the kite shape.
3. Now, rotate the kite and pull hard the front lines.
In case the kite falls with the trailing edge in the water pull hard the front lines (no need for a reverse launch).
When a Peak 4 falls into the water, always apply pressure on the lines. If you are unable to re launch the Peak 4 in a short time then roll the kite and put It on the board. Remember the Peak 4 doesn't float long! Is the board is far away reach the beach and then go for the board. Swimming with the Peak 4 is not simple ideally you should use a little backpack for marine use.
