just looking for some advice ,the other day i put the kite up in light winds.it fell out of the sky and i had to relaunch with the kite directly downwind . Now if this happened on land what do you do

Depending on your kite, you can reach foward and pull on your front lines and hold till it reaches zenith, you will have to steer your kite to stop it rolling on it's back.

In light winds, many beginners/intermediates oversheet their kite now they have bows/hybrids. If the kite is stalling, there's too much bar pressure.

The main secret to riding in light winds is to have full bar pressure in the down stroke and edge, then let the kite breathe on the upstroke whilst massaging the speed/edge.
NJPornstar, you must have been the most active member of the kiting community in W.A, promoting both the sport and clinics, great to see the relaunch classes at kitestock...Brilliant........Mabe doing a launch/land independently demo/instruction could be of benefit to many kiters..
Good luck Chooky
