Water relaunching the Bularoo 07 Hot launching. With the boat kite resting on its trailing edge in the water with its weight partly supported by the struts, it is possible that the kite may accidentally ‘hot launch’. As soon as the kite powers up you must sheet out the kite, front line load only. The rear lines must not have any tension until the kite is safely in the neutral zone, in this case that would be overhead in the zenith. Reverse launching. When the LE is downwind and away from you, using the rear lines a reverse draft can be created using the trailing edge, which causes the kite to hover up backwards. If both rear lines are pulled with even tension the kite will hover up evenly balanced. If one rear line is released a few inches the kite will spin round and start to redirect. In this case be prepared to flip the bar and sheet-out the kite to reduce powering up the kite in a downwind position. Both of these techniques should be practiced in low wind conditions, they are advanced techniques and only recommended for experienced riders. Assisted Landing the Kite When landing your kite with an assistant simply fly the kite to the edge of the window and down to ground level slowly. Have your assistant the take hold of the kite firmly in the middle of the leading edge, and then walk towards your assistant to remove all flying line tension. You can either have you assistant lay the kite down and sand the upper canopy, or have them hold the kite until you are unhooked from the bar and safely able to have them hand the kite over. FAQ What pre-flight checks should I perform before I first fly my Bularoo? Your Bularoo kite is checked before it leaves the factory, pre-fight we recommend that you check all the larkshead knots on the front and rear bridle and that the leading edge zip is completely closed. With the kite un-inflated force the body of the zip downwards towards the pack of the zip closure, the body of the zipper should be hidden within the small reinforced pocket and not visible behind the zipper flap.
