My Comments:

Flew the 13 Dice in 28-30 MPH on the shortest knot possible on the Bar as recommended here. I'm 110Kgs (Pies). It's crazy how stable this kite is for 3 Struts. I was on the Whip X-SURF and had to pull the Depower about half most of the time. Gust over 30 the kite hardly moves.

I think next time out I will try the factory setting on the knots to see if the kite will pull easier upwind. I can keep the same tack bit seem not to be able too gain upwind ground. Any tips on gaining upwind ground?

Hey toe side. Only what I've already said using the upstroke. We are having no probs here but we don't weigh 110kgs either. 85kg biggest guy. But I know these guys are getting upwind easily in 15/16 knots albeit in light wind TTs and nuggets?

I know one guy who likes to ride fast and flat out has slowed down a little and allowed the window to wrap around a bit more?
