Yesterday on my 9m when it was super gusty, i actually powered up the loop to keep as much backline pressure as possible so that I didnt over sheet. also as an Oversheet on the bow dumps power


OVERSheet on the bow DOES NOT dump power, it generates MORE power.

I think you have the definition wrong.

Over sheet is when you power up the kite by bringing the bar closer, pulling in

Sheeting out is when you push the bar away

Opposite

Bow kites jump by oversheeting the kite, creating an even greater ANGLE of ATTACK which generates immediate power ( it also stalls the kite when oversheeted too much )
