Recently I've been using a North Rebel and absolutely love it. But I have encountered two problems when the kite is in the water and because I have only ever used 4 lines kites in the past I have no idea what to do.
1st Problem: After releasing the safety while in the water I find that the kite sits with the leading edge down like it does on the beach (with leading edge closest to you). Does anyone know how to spin the kite around ready to relaunch?
2nd Problem: When the kite drops from the sky due to lack of wind and is lying on its back in the water with the trailing edge closest to you, how do you relaunch the kite? or bring it back to relaunch position with leading edge towards you.
Can anyone give me some advice regarding these two problems?
... yep, easy, pull one steering line slowly but surely making very sure that the line you pull in is not bunched up near you, push it away from you very carefully. As the kite spins around and catches wind, the excess line you just pulled in will suddenly pull tight and if its around anything to catch ie you, your fingers, harness etc etc., make damn sure its not near you. Once kite has spun around and now on its leading edge, relaunch as normal.
Practice on a light wind day where you can stand in the shallows and watch how the kite behaves, you'll find its easier than you realize.
Good luck,

Hi Nugs
Now you have a 5 line kite, you have much more options when it comes to relaunching.
With your first problem, this is much easier with the 5th line kite, all you do is grab the safety line above the bar and pull it over your head. This will pull the leading edge into wind and the kite on its back. As you do this pull one steering line also and the kite will roll round onto one side. If you keep hold of both the steering line and the 5th line the kite will spin round straight down wind of you and launch very quickly in the centre of the window. As long as you keep the 5th line pulled in there will be hardly any power in the kite. The kite will look distorted and flat as there will only be tension on the 5th, but once the kite is near the edge of the window release the 5th.
With your second problem, do exactly the same. Grab the 5th line pull it rite back and the kite will hot launch straight up. Again keep tension in the 5th line and it wont pull too much.
Hope this helps
As Puetz says practice in light winds, but not with your feet on the bottom in shallow water cos you will get pulled a bit, and that is where you will get hurt.
