Offered help to a mate who had tangled kite lines, bringing his twin tip to the beach.
I've kited for years but never tried to carry 2 x Boards.
It was much harder than I thought.
Needed to get back up wind as friend had drifted.
Picking up 2nd Board on the move and steering one hand sort of worked, tricky on a hard tack.
What works best?

If it has a handle I will retrieve it. If it doesn't....hope they can body drag well!!

All you do is grab the board handle with one hand, then with two hands hold your bar and line, the board will obviously be up at the bar in one of your hands, dive the kite and take off like usual. Once going I then usually kite with one hand on the bar and the other holding the board.

Better to drop dwind of them,

having tried and failed a couple of attempts so I usually let my surfboard go (as it easily rolls downwind), jump on the twinnie (straps are usually too tight!!) and ride it across to the kiter. I kite one-handed easy but when it comes to picking up a board an getting going on a your strapless at the same time I am totally unco.

I once saw a guy go and retreive a lost kite. He rolled up the bar and lines while still keeping his kite at 12 and then rode in towing the other kite upside down by its front lines.
pretty impressive.
