Depending on the design of the kite, each may be different. I fly bow kites (Cabrina Switchblade 2) and it's easy... I just pull lightly on one of the outside lines, the kite moves to the edge of the wind window, and up she goes!
I flew a C kite once, it wasn't as easy... but I was unfamiliar with that kite.
The ease of relaunch was one of my BIG determining factors in which kite I learned with!
If I was to give any relaunch advice... it would be to learn to relaunch your kite in light wind conditions when the kite is dead downwind. That caused me some headaches while learning.
You're asking GREAT questions man! Now go have some fun and get some lessons!!!
