Are you riding with the bar past the stopper? If you pull down and click in the stopper you won’t have this problem, when you ride the kite past the stopper it won’t turn at all and it will flag the kite out, it will turn faster with the bar in.
This problem has been eliminated on the new IDS kites.

NO 14M kite is ever going to really turn quickly.
I ride a 12m and an 8m SB3 the 8m is lightning fast ( usually the wind is 22+ ) but the 12m.......... OMG it is like waiting for a bus can only imagine the 14 is even worse.
They really need quite a bit of speed to turn properly and i find the 12m responds well ( better at least ) to about a half sheeting when turning.
yes i have to agree the 12m SB3 does turn like a truck but the new IDS 12m SB is a dream so much better than the SB3, turns faster and alot smoother same with the 14 the performance has been greatly improved
