K,
Do you have a fifth line? if you can rig it on the trailing edge, you can let the kite drift downwind on your launch ,tension one lines, roll and launch. If you do not have a fifth, you can improvise and pull on both back lines. Either way, once you feel power, steer your board off the wind to lessen the pull. Of course, if there is someone around , do an assisted launch.
Best to get comfortable being in your board, even if you do spend for the clickers. it trains you on edging.
Have fun
