>the better way to start is to seat, fly the kite toward the top of the window, get up with the help of the kite
this is perfect. launching while seated gives you leverage against the power of the kite without pulling you off balance. a slight dip of the kite
into the power zone can lift you to a standing position. from there you are ready to skate away.
another manner of launching is to stand with the wheels pointed straight toward the kite. launching the kite will accelerate you in a downwind
position. as soon as you are rolling, turn upwind away from the kite and find your sailing line. use this launch only in light wind conditions
>it works better when you fly the kite high in the window than when you try to keep it too close to the ground.
this will be true with skates possessing small wheels (or short wheel base). the wheels of the coyotes are too small and high pressure to have
adequate traction again the power of a kite. keeping the kite high the window will prevent the skates slipping or "skipping out", however
this will also prevent the skater from achieving much speed. skates with larger wheels can place the kite in full power for speeds over 55 mph
(95kph).
>Am I on the good way or not?
