looks like you have steering lines too long, and the kite doesn't respond when you depower the bar. That's normal, just trim it so it responds by shortening the steering lines

Hi, ive tried both and prefer the Bandit 2018 much more. The new bar also is great, always thought bandits were great but the bar was behind, now they have a great updated bar For unhooking you may have a bit more slack on the fx but i like bandit feedback much more, Fx is too fast for freestyle and...

sheet out when it completes the loop
if its not going to catch you land on your ass its the less painful way

when it says 30, expect 40-50 or more, you will have to move to other spots where it is lighter probably

Same, sell the 14m, that kite is only for big people. You need a 12m and then a 15m contra for light stuff, 15 contra has really a much better low end than the 14m switchblade, is faster and relaunches easier in light winds

Weight must be on the back foot but with the front leg extended

that was my first 20 minutes also, after that a lot better, and now doing good after short 7 sessions. I also commited same mistake, going too much overpowered. I can hold a lot of power with my TT, but this is different thing. Just be enough powered, like 10-12m in 10 knots is more than enough for ...

"You could try to shim your rear stabiliser so the leading edge is pointing more up (or trailing edge more down)"

Dont know what you are talking about I mean, i know about how wings affect, but shim?

Thanks for the compliment, will try that! By now ive tried to shift my weight forward thinking to put my head over my front foot (this shifts the hips). I saw that in a video and it worked well for me. When speed is higher i have to put even more pressure in the front, is tiring after some times, is...
