Yeah I'm new to kite foils .
Both happened on the waves( 40cm +-)
1st was really at the beach entrance .
The shop owner wanted to demonstrate me how the kite relanches from water , so he asked me to go just far enough to fall the kite on the water ( on shore wind ) , stall the kite and flip it just as it about to touch the water . So it landed with the intakes down . Then he told me not to touch anything at the bar , and see how it goes up by itself.
Obviously that did not happen
, and we waited around 3-4 minutes . At this time the kite was full of water already.
I was standing on shallows , resisting the kite with my body while it was upside down.
The 2nd time it filled with water , I was on the way out with my foil on the waves, I did not time the kite movement when a set of waves came , kite didn't have enough power to go up again, and the tip touched the water . Then it fell , and waves got me and the kite back to the beach .
From what I understand from your comments this is pretty normal , right ?
So what do you do if kite falls down near waves ?
Will it always fill with water ?
