does that hurt coming down?

hey slack read the thread i dont think psi is the issue line length may be the problem going to check tommorow kite flys normal no hands on bar at 12 any way thanks for the help cheers

Most kites I've flown will do that when they're so overpowered something has to give. That usually happens as I swing it for a boost though, not mid-boost, or if I'm cruising along happily overpowered and then a gust takes it to the next level of stupidly overpowered. Could be a combination of pressure and overpoweredness, ie there's enough pressure for a stable wing at normal power but not at overpower.

Yes I am too fat...

Sounds like a pretty sweet kite! 09 model you say? where can i buy one?

bending, folding has been a standard feature with the rebel kites for the last 3 years

From what I have found its usually the leading egde hasnt got enough air in it , low pressure and lots of wind or boosting a jump = kite folding in half , it will do it every time . makes for an exciting jump or high wind experience usually

Holy crapssss i thought darren had hibernated for the winter
where have u been? i havnt seen you out for all the five good days

two people i kite with have 09 rebels and there kites use to do the same thing when they pumped it up to 6 psi (which is the recommended psi) but since they started pumping it up to 9 psi it has never folded again and they have taken them out in up to 35 knts.

good winds,
