Had an awesome jump session on the 8m today. I'm now dialed in using old c4 technique send it back hard and hold it back, then wait for the drop, drop Fast with bar out and then wang the redirect hard at the last moment. Buttery landings.
I even got that hover a few feet above the water. Cool.
Good times.
Try throwing a downloop with the kite slightly in your direction of travel I.e. 11am if going left, 1pm if going right. Do it on the way down when you're about 5m from the surface. You'll get a little lift again just before landing and ride out smooth and fast into a transition if you follow the downloop through to the opposite direction.
