#3 When you reach the bar, hold the safety line tightly with one hand. Use your other hand to reach out for the float bringing the bar float, bar grip and chicken loop together (it doesn’t matter on which side of the bar). Holding the bar with one hand and the safety line in the other, you can now wrap the floating safety line tightly around the bundle (float, bar, chicken loop). You will need to secure the safety line with a half hitch knot. To do this, twist the lines around themselves to create a hitch and pass it over the bar end.
#4 Once you have wrapped most of the safety line around the bar you will need to secure the line again. The last 1m of safety line should be used to secure the bundle. Use another half-hitch knot and pass this over the bar end to secure the line and prevent it from unravelling.

#5 Once you have secured the safety line , you can then move to gather the rest of the kite lines floating around. You will do this by using a Figure of Eight packing technique (the same technique used at the end of your session). Make sure that you take all lines in hand as you wrap the bar in a Figure of Eight motion. Do not leave any lines out of the wrap. It is vital that the shortened line remains shorter than all others as you approach the kite.
A Figure of Eight technique is used so the lines get less tangled and more manageable to sort out when you get back from your self rescue.

#6 When you have finished wrapping the rest of the lines, use the leftover of your safety line to secure the lines with at least two more half-hitch knots. You should now have a wrapped bar and be next to the kite.
#7 Now, that you can reach the kite, follow the lines to either wing tip. At this stage, you will have to flip the kite around. The easiest way to do it in deep water is to put the kites leading edge on your shoulder, while you sink the wing tip. As you put pressure on the wing tip of the kite the wind will fill the kite and help you to tip it over.
#8 At this point, depending on the conditons, you will be able to return to shore by self rescue method or will need to wait for help.
