the how to launch a bow kite.
its being asked alot around the threads

Ok so lets say lines have been connected directly upwind and lets say your going to launch from the left of the kite pick the kite up and put it over the right hand side of the lines.

Point the left hand tip direct upwind and put just a little sand on the second panel to weight it down just a little like a handful, two, or three.

You put the kite over the lines like that because when you bring your lines to the side when launching they are free from under the kite.

In addition, when you point the kite into the wind the back tip should just have the wind in it so it is filling with air not so it is moving violently but just so it stands up.

Then hook into your bar and walk toward the left hand side of the window but upwind just a little of the side of the window.
This will allow you to launch the kit into a full neutral position.

Now this is what you do pull on the outside right hand line it will allow the right hand side of the kite to come around a little more and grab the wind. It will put the kite onto its side as the power of the wind pushes the right hand wing out lifting the leading edge from the ground

However, as you are slightly upwind it will leave the leading edge pointing ever so slightly toward the sand until you are comfortable.

You then just walk into the wind window even out the steering, where it will be tame and ready to launch.

I have tried all methods
This is the safest and easiest.
But if you don't want to do it this way then that's just fine by me
