Machine RELAUNCH STEPS 1. When your kite crashes leading edge down, let the kite drift directly downwind of you and make sure all lines have equal tension. 2. Pull your Oneline in using a hand over hand technique to bring the leading edge towards you until your kite is lying on its back. - Page 10 RELAUNCH STEPS 4. Continue working your kite to the edge of the wind window by applying pressure to the appropriate steering lines. Do a final check to make sure all lines are clear of body parts and that there are no lines caught or tangled on your bar. If at any time you don’t feel comfortable, simply cleat off your Oneline with at least two feet pulled in to prevent your kite from launching.
