Re: Technique Unhooked

Seems like you are having your problem before popping, so try to practice the technique i told you before, lean against the kite, shoulders behind, your board well away from you and edge like a maniac. You should control the power better this way and allow you to pop in the air without the kite winn...

Re: Technique Unhooked

Alex85, maybe if you find it is too much power to you it is probably because of technique. While you bear off downwind and when you start to edge to create tension (load) and then pop try at all costs to keep your shoulders behind. If your shoulders are not behind the power of the kite will be too m...

Re: Technique Unhooked

if you bear off downwind and still have a lot of power i think you need to trim your kite or size it down. Having a C kite adds more range for unhooking than for example a bow kite, and you will find you have same amount of power hooked or unhooked, which usually helps :) this is my opinion based in...

Re: Technique Unhooked

if wind is lighter you cannot bear off downwind too much as you would lose all power and speed. If wind is strong like in the video you need to bear off downwind much more, also a question of preference, some riders do not bear off almost nothing while others (me) tend to bear off more. there is a p...

Re: Techniques for boosting with a c kite?

With a C kite technique has to be better but you can boost high as well... steps: 1- Medium/fast speed (not edging to go fast) 2- send kite very aggresively in the opposite direction you are riding, bar not completely pulled in at the same time you send it start edging like a madman, do not lose you...

Re: Flexifoil Hadlow ID - Hard kite to relaunch ?

Great kite, i owned it for 1 season. But it is hard to relaunch in marginal winds. If you have consistent wind no problem though it takes longer than other kites to relaunch. It doesnt go upwind as well as others it is true, but boosts well, unhooks excellent and great feedback at the bar. I will st...
