Can the kite re-launch well due to its high Aspect Ratio?
It does not only re-launch but it re-launches easily. Back to the question: The Monsoonz is a high AR kite, so when the kite is on the water, you get more surface of the Leading Edge on the water which makes it harder to relaunch? Most classic high AR kite don’t relaunch that well. The Monsoonz leading edge is just like any bow kites. The LE is not straight but swept back. Because of this shape, the LE acts as a rocker and only a single point of the leading edge is touching the water. Pull a line, and when the kite turns, you’ll still have only one point of the LE touching the water surface. This happens because the wind will push the canopy to the back and with the tension of the back lines, the kite will stand on only one point of the LE. Image 01 Image 02 Image 03 As you can see from the 3 images above, only one single point touches the water surface. How is this position possible in Image 01? Simple, the wind pushes the canopy to the back, and all sides of the LE are lifted from th
