Looking quickly at your clip as near as I can tell your posture and edging look fine, transitions good as well. Have you tried attaching your outside lines to the outermost bridle knots? This will allow maximum depower along with tuning your trim strap. You may need to pull in a little bit on your trim strap to avoid being oversheeted and experiencing poor kite response with that setting.
Thanks RickI, I'm 220 I flew a 14 and it was like flying my 12.5, besides I though it was too close to my 12.5, so a little extra couldn't hurt here in Florida.

I have not tried attaching it anywhere than factory setting yet, I know I definitely need to start playing around with the knot and where to attach.

When you mean Pull in the trim strap, meaning depower a bit right?

Thanks for everything.
