Went for big jump and got big face plant after stuffung it all up. The kite landed on water on its back down wind from me leading edge facing me . What is the easy way too relauch from here i must i tryed everything , pulling on one rear , pulling on a front i even tryed swiming at it , kite just went further with me it seemed too take forever . I did eventually get it relauched somehow but wanting too now what to do if it happens again (which it will) . Kite is a cab revolver .

do you mean on its trailing edge.?

if so,

grab hold of the front lines around the depower strap. give it a good yank.

keep doing that and tease it into the air.

if you mean on its back as in the canopy,

then swim towards it whilst grabing a few yards of one rear line

make sure you don't get it wrapped around you.

this should begin to bring the kite around to where you can relaunch.

if there is enough wind to be jumping there should be easily enough wind to relaunch.
