Exclamation The Reason Why We Down Size Kites

Lately i've been hearing of alot of stories and have had many people talk about there kites railing and being un-able turn turn there kites.

all c and flat kites currently "rest" on their foward leader lines so when you pull in on the de power strap you lenghen the back lines making them slack (and this is espically notible on Flat kites) causing less of a reaction with the kite because you have to pull back farther and take out this slack before the kite will turn

anyone who is having truble turning their kite and have alot/more than half
down size kites please before we have anouther accident (due to railing)like power lines, getting draged into the beach or building

short: a kite is more responsive with no De-power pulled in

enjoy, good winds and no wories
