Downwind is the safe way, side window is kooky. Even kookier is people teaching these weird ideas, let alone expressing them here.

Are you trolling?

In under 15 knots, sure downwind is fine but you will cover some distance. Side launch is the safest way when it's windier.

My 15m Sonic 3 arrives in a couple of hours. Typically, it's shitty weather today.

This is how the bottom turned out. Going to do the top today I hope. It's quite cold here so need to get the workshop up to temp first!

Cheers for all the advice.

you must state board thickness - it is most important variable - without it info about laminate is meaningless. Thicker the board the less laminate and vice versa.

the board is 25mm.

One layer of 650g/m2 carbon is plenty tough. I literally about to laminate my board and was going to use 2 layers of 650g/m2 carbon for the bottom of my board. I weighed it up for epoxy measuring and it's heavy. Are you sure I can get away with just one layer? I will have a second layer only around...

10-12m

wow, I am 115kg and am by far the heaviest rider in my area.

I get weird readings from Woo depending on the kite I ride. I get what feel like more accurate readings on my foil kites compared to my tube kites.

Going over 14m at that weight! Man that kit must be screaming! great job though.

What kind of power is the 13m Peak 4 producing comparatively speaking?
