Any ideas of how to fall safely off hydrofoil?

Some additional input:

"Al Power If you ride with a strap, keep it nice and loose. It’s very easy to fall in the opposite direction of the board, and if you are locked in a broken ankle will result. As far as falling just fall down wind, in the direction of the kite, the kite will pull you away from the board, which you should do with or without a strap. And I would say bail as soon as you know you are going to fall, get clear of the board and nothing bad can happen."
