Hey Community,
I´m relatively new to snowkiting and my kite keeps stalling and thrashing around. Do you have any idea what might be the cause fot that?
The winds were at 8 knots and quite stable
Thanks and have a good one,
Sonni

Assume you have tried depowering or making the rear lines longer?
First thing to do....
If you continue this path, to the extent when rear lines are so slack it can not be turned, something is wrong with the kite, but I doubt it.
In light wind most kites has to be trimmed fairly depowered, to obtain power and control

Are you sure it is stalling rather than luffing? The thrashing around puzzles me if it is stalling. If it is backstall follow Peters advice above.
