I swapped my 4m Frigate for the Quest 3.5 & 4.5 unfortunately in that photo the wind only got to 10 to 14 and that's been it for wind since then . I chugged for an hour with the 4.5 . I got so so close a few times but just couldn't quite hold the launch . The Quest for me was way way easier to fly than the Frigate I could almost park it . Good example I could hold 2 Quest in one hand .
Haha that's the classic new to parawing routine, frothing and going out in the wrong conditions. I've always been a "just send it and you'll learn something from the session" kind of guy but with parawing especially the early stages you're really just best waiting for the right conditions (say a steady 18kn). In the right wind range it's actually "not that hard" in the wrong wind conditions it can be hugely frustrating.
Sub 12 knots makes learning hard, but clean 12-15k with a 5m Smik was good learning cond for me. Reasonably flat water helps too - confused sea/swell makes it much harder
