Bit embarrased to say I couldn't get my board back the other day. Riding my Naish Torch 11m in stupidly ovepowered conditions (30/32mph gusting 38/40mph). Fell off my twin tip and try as hard as I could, I just couldn't body drag back up wind. The kite was pulling so hard, I was just about staying level but not making it upwind. I had the kite low and trimmed while trying to get upwind. Had to settle on dragging to shore, so powered it was a struggle standing on the beach, body dragged back out and retrieved the board again. I know I can't be the only one... come on fess up
