Uphaul
Uphaul your rig with your back to the wind. Let your board rotate to a 90º angle to the wind direction as soon as the sail is partly out of the water. Continue to uphaul using your legs,- not your back. (pic's 17, 18 & 19)
Hold your rig by the uphaul line and let it swing freely. Grab the front boom end and sheet in gradually. (pic's 20, 21 & 22) Make sure to correct your course simultaneously by moving the mast slightly forward to avoid stalling. Step into the straps and go.
