For the benefit of the "OMG what have we done??? :-) " syndicate, here's what happens if just one incy-wincy bit of the kite touches the water before it's fully hoisted.  I'm the one wearing the headcam and wondering if we'll be able to bear away far enough to clear his mast tip if he does do a complete reverse capsize.

Apologies for the crappy quality, I'm not sure what happened to the original.

They didnt piss it in. Think they were going for a text book 'higher and faster' bear away using their body weight to negotiate the turn

Less than that, through experience I reckon 2 seconds!
