What do you consider to be excessively gusty and how do you deal with it?
Have you had any misadventures in gusty stuff, if so, what happened?

I am not necessarily talking about 20 mph gusts above background wind speed or obvious squall winds in this but the more routine up-down stuff. Of course if you have some major gust stories, toss 'em in.

Lots of our experience came from C kites that deal with gusts to a limited extent and then translate the additional force to the riders. What changes have you experienced so far with the new flat kites? (Hopefully not a sense of squall immunity.) I have a bad feeling that we may have some fairly spectacular squall related accidents in time with flat kites.
