nice video. but +1 on reverse launch not applicable to really light wind. opposite front line or you swim. front/rear line ballet also needed to keep kite from falling on its back . downlooping also key to keep kite flying .

i have a pair of 7mm oneil heats. in combo with a bootied drysuit my feet are perfectly warm. my hands get cold way faster. the water here is like 42F, air around the same. my hands get cold due to wind chill just like your feet.
