Interesting Launching technique that others kiters have done it:
a) lay out and cleared your lines b) put weight on the chicken loop by putting your board or sand bags over it (besure to leash your chicken loop onto the board/sand bags) c) walk to your kite and launch your kite d) now your waroo just sits on the side window, you just have to walk to your control bar and hook in and go.

%%%while i was reading tha manual of Best Waroo Kite i found this method of self launching. but I don't really understand cuz it seems very very ultra dangerous.
are there any body who have done before.. just wondering how well it

works. cuz usually I found myself kite alone~ lonely lonely~

I have done it on my waroo using my board and the tow hitch on my car. I wouldnt try with the board again. using the sliding self launch is much easier

put ur kite into the wind and walk down wind ov ur kite and have the lines tight slowley walk around up wind of your kite (keeping the lines tight) so ur kite goes down wind just like if u have crashed it and then pull on ur line and up it goes ezy peazy haah

that tieing kite down method i gr8, bury board strap CL to grab handle sit kite on edge of window as if ur ready to launch some one else and just let it sit there. the full depower of the kite allows it to sit and wait for you. i used to do it all the time back home wen there wasnt enough space to do the other method. best thing is because u can have the kite resting in the water if thers limited space too. not dangerous really, in very strong winds the kite might bounce a bit so make sure the point u attach CL to is secure.

Depends on your preference. Best are referring to the second one.
