holy crap I got a shock when you guys outed lofty. Turns out he was one of the dudes who I would talk to on the beach. The first time I met him was when I was starting out. I asked him for a launch, he said no, then he just stared at me for like five seconds when I was about to tell him to get fxxxxx he offered to teach me to self launch. I said I knew how just wasn't confident and he stood by my kite while I practiced so he could grab it if I stuffed it. He's actually a nice guy in person. Anyway don't believe me and add me to the list of lofty avatars.
LMAO... I don't refuse launch helps when asked but in your case I saw an opp to teach a beginner an essential skill. LOL... I am glad you were patient with me grasshopper. See... You learnt something new, and self launching and landing is an essential skill for any kiter IMO.
