Still puzzled why all girls in pictures have their kite fully powered. Meaning they’re at max power for that size and can’t power more.
I’d expect everyone to try to stay on their favorite size and if wind is a tad stronger to depower a bit. And if you’re on size smaller than you favorite and fully powered up - switch the kite and depower a bit too.
Interesting pattern

Pippa Crowley above doesn't have her kite at full power, perhaps you were distracted by something else.
