kite saving device
so tether launching my kite in strong winds usually results in me running like the clappers praying to the wind gods not to send my skyward through the wind window and smashing it into the slsc rusty shed at dongara, im usually the only one there and dont trust a passer by or the missus to launch me, anyone whos been to my local in a big frontal with no beach and sea weed and debris will know its not a self launch spot, so ive been doing this and it works a bloody treat, all you need is a nylon tent peg that has a hook, walk your kite to the launch position then as shes set lay it over, walk back to your kite and youll see your lines laying in position, push or knock in the peg just above the ground side steering line float and hook your line under, walk back to kite clicking your heels together and with a gee im clever look on your dial, set kite to it origonal lauch position, walk back to your bar in a leisurly stroll taking in the scenery, when at the bar unhook your line and hook yourself in as normal, leave the peg in as its there for you when you finish your session , when finished tether your kite hook the groundward steering line under and retreive your kite with a bit more heel clicking as you go, cost of peg $2 cost of new kite ?
