Hi All,
Finally got my 2011 Dyno Range together and having fun on the 16... Also got the 18 and playing with that as well, BUT particularly on the 18, I have a few questions:
- I used it mainly in light winds, and when it hits 15 knots, it can be hand full... How do u guys use it in more than 20??? Standing on the beach, it already pulls quite strong...
- on the other hand, since I was overpowered, I switched to my small Mako... But now I hardly could get going... I'm 105kg and the Mako with 135 is quite a small board...since I couldn't build speed, I couldn't build apparent wind and get going...
- finally: going big: I was not really able to go big with this kite... I know it's me, I'm doing something wrong... Most of the time I could not hold the edge and didn't go high, just far downwind... What's your technique Toby: when you go left, send the kite, when do you sheet in and pop off? At 11? 11.30? 12? 1?
Minor thing:: when I pumped it up, I thought the bladder was twisted at the 2nd strut from the tip, this is where the kite folds when it sits on the tip....... It looked strange, like that the LE is not perfectly round, but then I checked at other side, and it looked similar ... Once I pumped it fully, it was almost gone and it looked fine...
Any thoughts, comments are appreciated...
Thx
