Some advice please from those of you racing or high-performance freeriding with racefoil kites. Im finally starting to get my foiling gybes sorted but find especially with my 15m R1 (but also my 11 sometimes) that I have a habit of crashing the bottom tip of the kite in the water on the downloop (and then its all over). I was on 18m lines but went back to 20m lines as I thought that might give me a little more leeway . I try to initiate the downloop as I switch feet so that the kite flying over the top creates lift and is already starting the downloop as I carve, and then carve hard out of the turn to keep line tension. I do notice that the faster i can go the more i beat the kite through the turn so sometimes the kite is almost pulled through the turn behind me, but about 30% of my gybes end in a tip crash and I have the bar totally cranked over to get as much turn as I can but without success. So my questions are:
Am I better with the leeway of longer lines and a slower turning kite or should I use shorter lines so the kite turns faster, or will the smaller window make a tip crash more likely?
Would a tuning in a little more z line tension help the kite turn faster?
Should I initiate the downloop before I switch feet or after once I am carving?
Is grabbing the leader line to help the kite turn a useful thing to do?
Thanks, please only replies from those skilled in gybes with foil kites.
