I only ever pump it up super hard when I know I'm going to be very overpowered, normally around 6-8 is good. Small kites need more PSI.. I can only vouch for Slingshot kites being able to handle the pressure.. Thanks!

Epic! Been out in that Wind yesterday too. Hard stuff when the 50+ knots rolled over and noone was jumping for 20 minutes :) Anything you recommend for dealing with the fear to fully sent it in such winds? I´m rather heavy and fly a 7m rarely. Afraid to loop it due to its speed.

Use a smaller bar then it reacts slower i own a 7 ozone c4 kite also kite in storm 50+ 110kg i use a 23m lines and 45cm bar and it just reacts as a 9m
@SamLight 3 жыл бұрын
Don't think about what could go wrong, just focus on what is in front of you, calculate risk and how much to send it. Confidence comes from experience and gradually pushing your limits i.e. start looping in light wind and slowly build it up into strong wind, but sometimes you just have send it! No hesitation

@nicolasboudet9302 3 жыл бұрын
Wouah! 😎 with a 8m! I better understand why I have got some issues of reverse folding of my 7m kite as a closed shell under very big gust, the bladder still under pressure avoiding the kite to come back to its normal side🥴(probably with not that much gust than your session!). I will then push my pump up to 12psi but I am no sure it will pump that up! 🤓In addition it is better to have a very clean shore to enter the sea, without any hidden rock as it was probably impossible to not be pulled horizontally on your feet as soon as kite did fly...(???)
@SamLight 3 жыл бұрын
a lot of people don't pump their kites hard enough. i think around 8 psi is fine, 12 psi is a bit too much, what kite is it?
@nicolasboudet9302 3 жыл бұрын
@@SamLight it is an old Best Kahoona 7.5m2 (2013) with 4 latte but no central one, which give a chance to the Leading edge to return on itself by the middle, and stay blocked on this wrong position. I am not sure that a very strong pressure will avoid this behavior but lack of pressure was always an issue on this kite🥴!

Why would you take an 8m kite when a 5m kite is enough? Seems just plain stupid to me. Just hope none of the regular mortals will try to copy you and get themselves or somebody else seriously hurt. Bad example and unprofessional.
@Woutergerritsen 3 жыл бұрын
Not really agreeing with you on this one... Since accidents tend to happen on the way down, and not up... I found I was safer on a little bit bigger kite because they tend to drop you softer than the smaller ones, and the steering is not as aggressive which helps easing out the kite control in gnarly conditions... and if you get the timing right... and the gust hits... 👌🏼 but each his own I guess... some like it bigger, some smaller...😝 didn't fancy the blade remark too much though, that seemed unnecessary.
@SamLight 3 жыл бұрын
what can I say, I enjoy pushing the limits! I have ridden my 8m in those conditions plenty of time before and I was confident I could handle it. I often take a kite much larger that a 'need' because its fun being on the limit. It's important everybody is aware of their capabilities, plonkers will be plonkers, myself included... 😄
