There seems to be a heap of BS going down about wavekiting.

wind direction and wind speed.
A couple of critical factors. ^
When it's that windy that seagull's wings are getting torn clean off, it is definitely easier to ride straight at your kite and not have to do much to keep it airborne, I seem to have noticed that this whole 'good drifting' thing happens a lot better with BIG slow kites (unless it's really howling and then any kite will drift back)
p.s. you don't need a good kite to go in the waves, checkout how they used to do it:
