I know this has probably been covered before but I have got a Ozone c4 11mts 2011 kite and it says pump it up too 8psi but my pump does not have a gauge and also I have heard that you should not rely on the gauge anyways. I went down the beach today and it was meant to be 13kts to 16kts. and my kite stalled and also I don't think I had it pumped up enough. I am used to flying my foil kite.
thanks man I also heard you can flick it or something and listen too it but yeah not sure. I will keep that in mind about moving it around more in them winds it was my first flight today and I was pretty nervous on what I was doing. I weight about 78kg and im 157cm tall what would be good winds for this kite? and I am also a beginner if you have not noticed already
Maybe this is the wrong advice, but essentially, don't stress it. I use the 'ping' approach. I.e. bounce your finger off the leading edge and if it sounds more like a thud than a ping, it probably needs a bit more.
If you don't put enough in it, you'll know when you turn the kite over after pumping it up, as it will fold like a sandwich.
I was having a play today. is this pumped up too much? to me I dont really notice much difference with the sound but when i put it in the air so standing up the way you would launch it. it stayed up right but when i had less in it it stayed up right but the LE was not as tight
