Rolling the kite on it's back for water start can be made easier by swimming a little to one side of the wind window before you start your swim at the kite. You need to swim fast enough to create some slack to roll the kite on its back. As the kite will pivot on its leading edge you need to give at least the radius of the semi circle of the kite in distance to enable it to roll, plus a bit extra to allow for drift of the kite. By grabbing the center lines above the trim strap and hauling hard behind you, this will give you a head start in the swim race, then swim really fast for a few second straight at the kite.
