Kiters going on this adventure had better start leaving their lines attached to the kite when packing their gear up. Put a half hitch around the bar and lines about 4m from the kite, place bar in centre of leding edge and roll up kite as normal. Take care with it and it will work out when you unpack it. I have not taken my lines of my kite all year ,only to check pigtails and when I wiped out bad a coupla times.
Practice now and it will save frustration and time out there. Unless there are better ideas I find this way works well.
5 WEEKS!! Bring it on!

There must be a better way to rig and launch a kite from a boat ? ^^^
Like some kind of rotating mechanical device attached to the stern of the boat...
so your lines can feed out efficiently and in order.
Just brainstorming here.

We stay on the transom and drift the kite out, we have yet to work out how to bring the kite in in a relaunchable state.

Its a fkn epic trip.
Gutted i cant go.
