Thanks Peter I really like your analytical approach.
Regards Herman.
What heresy is this?! Didn't you call BS on me for saying just that?
That’s how I learned to gybe — bearing upwind until now speed then sending kite back the other way (decisively) then following the kite as it pulled the other direction aka following the kite.jumptheshark wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 12:25 pmAs evidence by our good friends at Duotone, it's not crazy advice to tell the OP to lead with the kite and follow it decisively through to the exit.
Isn't this the crux of the confusion?Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 9:52 am
Exactly, we are not discussing when you begin to pull on the bar, only when the kite start turning compared to our board.
As we all begin pulling the bar a bit or long before the kite is expected to turn, depending on size and kitetype and load.
Yes I think that is the misunderstanding here. But I think the more practical advice involves bar movement.Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 2:39 pmI think you are right - some of us talk about when we can see the kite turning, others talk about when you give the input to the bar, two completely different things, also dependant on many other factors (the delay)
