I'm just impressed you are ever able to go upwind on a 12m in 12-13knots and not on a hydrofoil.

But to answer your question, yes that kite is "bagged out", happens with any old sails, just get a newer/less used kite.

Generally occurs when you fall to your heelside and back foot, launching the foil up and into your lines.

Happened to me the other day. Horrific. Just super dangerous and if it locks in you just have to bail out and pray.

Cons: The scenery is much worse, the water brownish and usually cold, and the cost of living insanely expensive comp...

Those are the best wetsuits available for surfing/kitesurfing etc, they each fit a different body type though so you have to go to a surf shop and try them on and just buy the ...

I have a camrig and use it occasionally but only when I have an assist launch. The videos are by far the best you can get with a GoPro. I would like to use it more but I self-launch frequently and it's pretty sketchy self launching with it weighing/tangling on your lines as anyone who has tried know...
