Well, I live part time in the USA so it is the manufactures fault who made a kite that jumps too high, sue ‘em!

Wait, you were unhooked when the chicken loop disappeared? WTF

Yes bruised means getting back sooner. The bigger problem with broken is if it is offset and you crash on it again it can puncture internal organs (lungs, spleen, etc) and that is a major issue. Don’t do that! If you can handle the pain and won’t go crazy at the first ramp/gust to jump you should be...

Has happened to me once as well. Now I just have a carabiner attached to my harness and use it to rehook. Works easily, it does move the bar/trim a bit further away but it’s just to get back to the beach easily. Still get all the benefits of no hook with no real downside (if you don’t unhook obvious...

Yea, the kite can’t tell what bar you are using. Only line length really matter. So, when you have the kite fully depowered by shortening the front lines, you have essentially made the back lines really long and added a ton of slack as said above and lost a lot of steering. You have to pull all the ...
