I agree.edt wrote:The way those high aspect kites work is they gain all of their performance from apparent wind. So you start off slow then build up speed and then after you have a bit of speed the kite turns on. For gusty conditions the wind turns on like a light switch you want to start making upwind progression immediately. By the time the high aspect kite is up to speed the gust has passed and now you are struggling. Just my experience. High aspect kites are amazing in very steady wind especially low wind conditions. But in gusty conditions I haven't had much luck with them.
