Anyone have any comments about what causes a kite to jellyfish? Does it have to do with the leading edge bladder pressure? Or are there other factors? ...
It is usually a design error, although if the bladder is underinflated that may not help. That said, on some kite designs with poor balance with regard to the...
The kite jelly fish due to the luffing/stalling (collapsing) of the wing tips. When the tips luff/stall (collapse), the kite closes-in and opens up again when...
I was afraid that it may be design error. The kite is a new 2003 Airush Lift Pro 19.5m. I've flown it twice. The first time it was in 13-15kts wind and it ...
George, If you fly it more on back lines, it will have a tendecy to enter the stall quickly, becouse while flying more on the back lines ,kite will be flying ...
I'm not familiar with that kite, but I would try flying it equally on both lines, also inflate it until you can 'ping' it with your fingernail and it sounds...
Thanks Tom. I'll try more pressure the next time I'm out. George ... __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 ...

My old 15.5 Naish AR-5 did it when the outside struts were soft. My 19.4 Airush Lift does it when the LE is soft. My 12 Slingshot never does it...- others do...
It seems like we are heading the right directions with many improvements in the sport in the couple years (near 100% depowerable kite, larger wind range, more...
We hope so... But for these improvements there must be lots of people who only focus these areas, I dont think this is the way it goes now ,, but I hope so.. ...
I agree with everything except the lower equipment cost. If kitesurfing follows the same pattern as windsurfing, the equipment gets better, more high-tech and...
George, And the Crossbow too will go down in price. For now, check out the Globerider Sonic. Some future flat LEI kite manufacturers will reduce the price...

One of my students got on the board and go both ways (for around 25 to 100m) on the second day of lesson. Now that's a very fast learner!!! Hung....
I hope everyone is getting more time on the water as fall eases on. Fewer hurricanes would be good but we'll just have to deal with it as best we can. So,...
Now that the Fall winds have filled in; there seem to be two schools of getting upwind - not just upwind..but vey high angled tacks. 1. We have a local woman...
The second person I mentioned who flys fast and low is an enigma. Out of a regular crew of about eight people, this person comes in a flys in another style....
Jim, The "high mode" is when you want to relax a bit or when way overpowered. The "low mode" is for cranking therefore the higher speed. Hung. ... [Non-text...
I would think that the faster your board speed, the harder it would be to go upwind. It's the same principle as in sailing - to go faster you have to bear off...
