Free Yacht Chapter 12: Kiteboat!

Step 11And Over the Side

And Over the Side
Over the side I go and swim away from the boat, unwinding the lines from my kitebar as I go.
The boat is straight downwind of the anchor, pointing into the wind. I swim to the side and a little upwind.
When the lines are straight and I'm ready, I give the "thumbs up" signal and Pete releases the kite.
A smooth launch, the kite is overhead. I put on my board and go kitesurfing away.

Yes indeed, it has come to pass that kitesurfing rools.
Sometimes referred to as "kite suffering", in the proper conditions it's a lot of fun.
