Thanks for the vid Sunseeker.

Holding the leash line in your hand......LOL......must have been all of 10 knots in that vid. The method is good though, but it souldn't be done like the guy in the vid...just use a good leash attached to your harness.

Im trying to get my head around that video if someone could help me a bit. Im taking it that this method is only possible on kites wich are designed to be flagged on a centre line(leading edge) and they would have a stopper ball fitted somewhere up this center line? So why doesnt he connect his leash to the line?
What is he holding onto? so this would not be possible on a 4 line c kite wich flaggs of a steering line right?
Cheers

yeah, that's a bit of an old vid - the thick Saffer accents are great - the kite leash attached to the harness is a must, I should have mentioned that.
