Deep Water Water Start

My first day water starting in deep water.  Thought I had more kite control than the level I actually had.  One of the main problems in deep water getting on the board is loosing your board so it's a good idea to keep closer to the beach rather than trying to get it in one hit.  So here are my key lessons:

1. Focus on one direction at a time
2. Do not swing the kite opposite directly, rather move up and down in a sin motion
3. let the kite pull you on to the board rather than using the arms
4. Wait until on the board before straightening your legs
5. First go downwind before trying to edge

All in all need  more time controlling the kite with board on feet before trying full on board.

1. control the kite while on board without looking at the kite
2. slowly drift towards one side with partial down strokes
3. As soon as on the board get kite to 12 o clock and fall back
4. Need to master above without looking at the kite
