Bigwave - how did you find the drift of the Rally vs your SB's? Sounds like you ride directionals a lot

Damn...that looks like a really comprehensive 2013 Rally discussion! Too bad I can't read any of it...

Well, I've only had one session on my surfboard and that was with the 14m. The other rides were with the Sector just blasting around and jumping. The Rally was better than the 2012 SB mainly due to the turning speed. I would say the drift was similar. I'm not a huge fan of riding my surfboard(Cab Skillet 5'6") with 14m kites. Id rather ride the sector.
It's been so windy lately,today I got an 8m Rally. I can't wait to ride it. Heading to Hatteras this week for a couple.

yes a guess therefore the "??"
moving a kite steering line attachment fwd = slower, more sheeting range, less leverage to twist/bend the kite, I think....
