I am wondering what folks do when something needs adjusting on the water.

For instance, I often want to cinch my harness tighter once I've been out for a while, but this is hard to do on the fly and not really feasible when there is a pull on the harness.

What works for you? Do you intentionally land kite on water? Other ideas for taking a time-out without coming back to shore?

Thanks,
Sander

i grab the chicken loop and pull to me, as i try to tightn the harness.
kite going to zenth.

Veer downwind on your board, hold your kite high, sheet in, thrust your hip forward and pull the adjustment straps hard in a quick motion and it should do it.

Also, to avoid any on-the-fly adjustments to your harness, it helps to soak it and get it plenty wet before hitting the water....

I used the method of stop in the water, put kite at zenith, then grab chicken loop and tighten. Worked great!
Thanks!
