Cable Sailing - the use of a cable to be hauled back into shore with can be helpful when flailing with too small a kite/humongous kite you shouldn't probably even own or have launched in the first place in super light winds/impending fog (WOG) or suddenly shifted offshore winds or windsurfing in similar conditions without an uphaul or sufficiently large board to make it back to safety without having to swim for it, worrying your friends and onlookers with a lightning quick cell phone draw

A safe distance to do this from is apparently a cable's length, a nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile or approximately 100 fathoms
