Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give some tips on boosting? I've been able to get some boost, but i'm pretty inconsistent.. Is it better, or will i get more air if i am riding faster? turn the kite faster?.. I've found i can do better on my slower bigger kite (12m) than my 9m, which is heaps faster, although i think this goes against what should happen.. i think sometimes i am sending the kite too far back, like to 2 o'clock position, any tips on fixing this? Also, where do you think the ideal position is to start sending the kite from?

I also think i let go of my edge sometimes just before the lift comes in (i think i lose my nerve sometimes, so maybe i need to grow some balls).. Is it better to keep my edge and just let the kite take me up out of the water? or try and time it?

Thanks heaps for your time, sorry if its been covered before, i did a search but couldn't find much..
