Anyone got any good water landing and recovery techniques, particularly for a five line kite (North Rebel). I have been dropping the kite with the safety which puts it on its LE okay but trying to bring the kite in when its really blowing stink like it did yesterday can be problematic. I usually haul in on the fifth line till I get to the LE but yesterday it gusted up pretty bad about 3 meters from the end. Kite took lifted and the two seconds that it took to tell my fingers to let go of the line, almost cost me my fingers.. Have some nice war wounds now.

Thanks.
