To add to Rick's comment, with higher wind conditions using smaller kites the wind is usually gusty. I try to time my jump with the beginning of a gust to get a good boost that is sustained throughout the jump. If the gust is not that good or my timing the gust was off, it results in a harder landing. I have had a few jumps where I started coming down and the gust hit sending me up again. Timing is everything when it comes to jumping.
