Nick with the kitehouse demonstrates one approach using BOW kites. At Matheson you should have similar calm water. I would urge caution in avoiding line tangles while walking the kite out and during release. This may or may not work all that well, exactly as shown anyway, with heavier waves and/or with seaweed mats to catch lines.

Anyway, BOW and flat kites behave pretty well for relaunching leading edge down in adequate wind if the lines are clear.
