Firstly, what do you mean by "stalling"? Front stalling, the kite flutters as it leans forward when you have the bar out or pull the strap in, or Back Stalling, the kite slows down and nearly flies backwards with the bar pulled all the way in.
The Instincts need to be flown with the bar somewhere in the middle of the depower range most of the time. I like mine with the rear line trimmers pulled in, so the kite nearly backstalls with the bar pulled right in.
My advice, stick with it, I've got the 9m original instinct, and an 11m Sport, love em both but the 9m is especially sweet.

oh it front stalls 2 but only when im on the beach walking up (it falls out of the sky)

i had the bar half way and the kite front stalled and fellout of the sky onto the rocks, like 3 times in a row when my friend on a 9m omega was fine! can i get bar pressure in anyway? so i can feel the power/depower

lol are there any mods for bar pressure cause that's all i really need so i can feel the power and depower effects on my kite (i learnt on a switchie 3) or is there a website of mods in general (tweaks?)

Hi Haydenz,

There is definately something wrong. I have two 2007 Instinct Sports 7m and 11m and they have never stalled backwards , nor has it luffed (front stalled). It's super smooth and shouldn't drop out of the sky unless you slam the bar out from fully sheeted in, but then again, I'd still be surprised in 17 to 25 knots.

Take it in to Kitepower in Geelong, Goshen should be able to check it over for you.

Good winds,

ive been kiting for about a month

yeah i kite in Hampton

I'm heading down this afternoon, brighton or hampton probabily, are you heading down.

Over-under sheeting will do that, but you just need some more time kiting, you'll get it dialled eventually

"OK, the kite is designed to depower and "fall out of the sky" with the bar all the way out."

That sounds like one sh1t kite!!

Good call tobes I would have offered haydenz $150 for it....have you flown your edge yet. I am a bit to heavy for the smaller ozones so have to stick to my 13m edge but its a great kite, I replaced mine with the 08 without even test flying it and I have not been dissappointed so start saving up for next year but beware I don't think there will be any for sale some how. I won't be selling mine.
