Josh , you were prolly powered a little during that squall I bet , huh?

I dissagree with that.
my switchblades have NEVER not once inverted in mid flight
and i've flown my 12 fully depowerd (past the override ball) in a squall... no problem at all.. but came in after a tack

BTW, past the overide ball is not quite fully depowered, against the top end of the rope is
I did not say that riding the bow depowered would invert it ;
I SAID pushing the bar out ( quickly ) and then flying it fast across the power zone is what inverts it ( allows airflow on top of the kite ).
SO, riding overpowered and depowered if okaydokay honkaydoray, but just keep the kite relatively overhead and not moving in the middle of the powerzone too depowered
THIS IS DIFFERENT from riding it in the powerzone POWERED or OVERPOWERED, this will not cause inversions
I've kited with my 12m in 30+ kts and my 9m in 40+ with no inversion problems at all because I don't let it depower fully
