i was out yesterday on a large 17m (i'm over 120kg) for the first time in about 10knots of wind. The kite tried to lift me off the water and pull me up (and bar)and down wind. Not sure what i done with the set-up. Have I inadvertently got the power up strap pull or is there something else i have done wrong. Kiting across the wind and staying up wind is not a problem but yesterday i was going down wind and up if i let the kite get the better of me> I ave the same kite in 13 and it is sweet......your advice appreciated

Ive realised it was set on medium bar pressure so i have moved that to low . . That might help . . .the kite is an airush varial vxr race . . .

back lines to tight ... must be slack when bar is pushed out, fly on front lines
