Hey crew..
I've got the up wind ok..still a little dodgy on my back hand. I'm doing 1 hour up wind then fly back home.
My question is.

What the hell do you do with the wing going down wind? I start with it in front then it try's to go behind me then it flops down all the time I'm trying to catch bumps. Arrrrr it's confusing. Any tips or good vids would be amazing.
cheers Jonesy.

Don't go straight downwind, keep some angle to fill the wing.
Outrunning your wing is not recommended.

It depends on wind strength, if it is strong enough it should just float in front of you.

Let the wing tell you. The conditions (wind speed, wind angle, your speed) will dictate where the wing wants to sit. Just hold it high and neutral and the wing will let you know where it wants to be. If you try to force the wing someplace it doesn't want to be, it will ruin your downwind ride very quickly.
