Water start
Le waterstart (de l'anglais « Départ de l'eau ») est une manœuvre de planche à voile consistant à se remettre en position de navigation après une chute en utilisant presque exclusivement la force du vent. Maîtriser cette technique devient rapidement un impératif dans des conditions de navigations autre que la mer d'huile ou le léger clapot et à partir de Beaufort 3.

Waterstart
A stronger wind technique used to get back on board easily and quickly after a fall. While in the water, the sailor lifts the rig enough to fill it with wind, and then gets lifted up and out of the water back onto the board, with the rig in the sailing position perfectly set to sail away. The alternative is uphauling, which is extremely difficult if not impossible on a small board, particularly in heavy seas. Waterstarting can be a frustrating manoeuvre to learn, but once learnt, rapidly becomes second nature and opens the door to the world of short boards and strong winds.
